Consider the string "word1 word2 word3 word4 word5" with point just before "word3". In bash-4.1, shell-backword-word moves point to the beginning of the string, but shell-forward-word just advances to the end of word4. The two functions really should be symmetric --- either both should break out of quoted strings, or neither should. The latter behavior is probably better, and it's more consistent with Emacs.
