Description
Originally reported by: Filipe Silva (Bitbucket: ninrod, GitHub: ninrod)
reproducible scenario:
type any word and place point at the end of the word ([|] is point)
#!elisp
verybigw[o]rd -> yiw
verybigw[ord -> point does not move, but the word is yanked.
[v]erybigword -> this is the expected result: point should have moved to the beggining of the yanked section.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the yiw scenario in Evil on Emacs: yank a word with point at its end and observe whether point moves. Trace the Evil yank operation, then verify that a successful yank leaves point at the beginning of the yanked section.
