I agree. I think we should introduce a user option to control whether
it stops on script boundaries or not, because sometimes it makes
sense, sometimes it doesn't.
That is not a real solution. The right thing to do is a function
of the case, not the user. Making each user specify an option
according to which cases she typically encounters is not clean.
It seems that we need a way to specify which kinds of script
boundaries should be word boundaries, on designed to produce the
results that users generally want, and which could be set up inside
Emacs so that users don't have to change it.
