Comment (by strk):

 Double checking, I confirm the new face is preferably on the left, and the
 old face on the right.
 "Preferably" because it is not always possible. It isn't possible, for
 example, when the new ring is a closed clockwise ring in the universe
 face. Trying to further clarify the cases in which it is not possible to
 maintain that preference I found that there's no testcase for adding
 closed edges touching the boundary of an existent face from the inside.
