bounds-of-thing-at-point    is   a    compiled   Lisp    function   in
‘thingatpt.el’.

(bounds-of-thing-at-point THING)

Yes,  I did.  And  I loaded  also  with M-x  load-library  and I  have
directory with your scripts in my load-path

So I do not get it why it is not loading and overwriting functions.

After  evaluating  this:  (tap-redefine-std-fns)  I  have  got  it  to
work. Just this below is not working well.

(eval-after-load "thingatpt"
  '(when (require 'thingatpt+ nil t)
     (tap-redefine-std-fns))
