"Insert Row" actually appends a table row in Writer - offer also "inser row above"

When using Writer, and editing a table within the document, selecting a row and then clicking "Insert Row" actually appends a row, because the new row winds-up below the currently selected row instead of above it. This is aggravating because Calc does not do the same. In Calc, Insert Row puts a new row above the currently selected row.
I think it would be better o make it configurable - just to prevent confusing "Writer veterans" who are used to the current behaviour. An additional option in Tools.Options.Writer.Tables should be a good thing here where the user could define wether he want to insert a row above or below the current cursor position as default.
