Hm you are right. So I decided to distinguish between delimiters
and punctuation marks because the caret has to stop right before a
delimiter but exactly on the punctuation mark. I added functions to check
whether the given s-point is 1) a delimiter or 2) a punctuation mark.

Please have a look at the improved patch and  let me know whether there are
 any more concerns.
