Details:

It would be /really/ nice to be able to navigate words by something other than
whitespace, as in editors and shells.  Doing some poking around, I found what
I think to be an example of the current behavior:

/*
 * Deletes previous word (default key: ctrl-W).
 */

void
gui_input_delete_previous_word (struct t_gui_buffer *buffer)
{
<snip>
        string = start;
        while (string && (string[0] == ' '))
        {
            string = utf8_prev_char (buffer->input_buffer, string);
        }
<snip>

I imagine replacing `string && (string[0] == ' ')` by a function that
processes `string` against a `word_chars` variable/setting would be a big part
of it.
