#787 maybe is related

I was actually looking into that when I stumbled upon #1173

Anyway, it doesn't seem too hard to implement gp using a macro like p`] (paste and move the cursor to the mark after the end of last paste).

[simias]

So, while hacking into evil to fix #1173 I think I also encountered a way to implement gp/gP easily: just call the current evil-paste-before/evil-paste-after methods then call (evil-exchange-point-and-mark) which should do the right thing and move the cursor to the end of the selection.

Fixed by #1650.
