Hi Chet,

what do you think about changing the definition of word (as in
backward-kill-word) in vi mode to better fit the vi definition (this
is taken from vim docs, I'm not sure about POSIX vi):

> A word consists of a sequence of letters, digits and underscores, or a
> sequence of other non-blank characters, separated with white space (spaces,
> tabs, <EOL>).

The main difference is that a vi user would expect "xxx,yyy" to be
split into words as:

'xxx'  ','  'yyy'

and not:

'xxx,' 'yyy'

which I think is emacs take on the matter.

I know I can bind <C-w> to something like '<Esc>bdwa', but this
definition is far from perfect.

Cheers
