is there a reverse of mark-word? something like mark-word-backward?
for example, when i use mark-word to select and extend selection, but
if i went too far, i want to go back.
perhaps i should just implement my own mark-word-forward and mark-word-
backward, by first doing a set-mark-command then backward-word and
forward-word?
