following up to my own reply, now that I have the current version:
THe current version doesn't yield sensible results. The selection is
blank if there is not a character of the word after the current word.
I would assume, in general, that a "current word" function should grab
the adjacent word. Is there a situation in whichtthis would *not* be
the least surprising behavior? If so, perhaps the function can take an
argument indicating "strict" (the current behavior), adjacent (touching
a word), adjacent-left-only, and adjacent-right-only (I donh't see what
the right-only would be useful for; I include it for completness. For
that matter, on indexing and in general, adjacent makes more sense than
adjacent-left, so maybe just strict and adjacent)>
