Check out the docstring of `end-of-defun-function'. It has a very 
specific calling conditions.

`forward-word' doesn't really need to know where the current word began 
(if we're within a word), whereas `end-of-defun-function' often does 
need to know that. So knowing that it's only ever called from a 
beginning of defun (or beginning of buffer, I guess) can simplify its 
implementation.
