Hi Leo,

thingatpt.el delivers a framework, an unified way to determine the start and the end of an object in buffer.

Upon that identifications some simple commands are implemented there, which make use of it: jumps-to-start, -end, move-over etc.

The commands moved now are simple commands also with a related purpose but not constructed upon the thingatpt framework.

Not everything with wheels needs to be exposed during an car-saloon ;)

Best,

Andreas
