At the risk of sounding like an idiot, I tried

  (interactive "^p")

and it didn't work, I still don't start a selection with S-C-left/right:

#+begin_src lisp
(defun subword-forward (&optional arg)
...
  (interactive "p")
...

(defun subword-backward (&optional arg)
...
  (interactive "^p")
...

(defun subword-right (&optional arg)
  "Do the same as `right-word' but on subwords."
  (interactive "^p")
...

(defun subword-left (&optional arg)
  "Do the same as `left-word' but on subwords."
  (interactive "^p")
#+end_src

I hope it's something trivial I've missed.
