The name is not descriptive of how it differs from `mark-word';
`mark-word' already has "at point" semantics. Point and mark should
end up in the opposite order, for compatibility with `mark-paragraph'.
Also, I suspect that you'd be surprised by the result in this context:
foo bar baz? -!-quux.
With point at -!- I would expect "quux" to be highlighted, but your
function gives "baz".
