D24378: WordDetect rule: detect delimiters at the inner edge of the string

[Dominik Haumann]

  I think it's fine as is. The docbook says:
  
    Detect an exact string but additionally require word boundaries
    such as a dot <userinput>'.'</userinput> or a whitespace on the beginning
    and the end of the word. Think of <userinput>\b&lt;string&gt;\b</userinput>
    in terms of a regular expression, but it is faster than the rule 
<userinput>RegExpr</userinput>.
  
  Imo `<userinput>\b&lt;string&gt;\b</userinput>` implies that if a string 
itself starts/ends with a \b character, then this should match as well. And 
given our unit tests do not show any changes, I think we are good to go.
  
  Please commit.
