In general, I'm really glad to see the Emacs developers standardizing and catering to the rest of the world - a lot of these things are things that annoy me subconsciously or consciously, but not enough to figure out how to fix in my .emacs.

Make sure you read the caveat I wrote as what counts as a "word" depends on the mode.
