Hm, no luck.

Consider the following buffer text (with ‘|’ indicating point and
second line showing numeric positions):

    foo| *** +++ bar
    1.. .5...10....5

Invoking ‘forward-word’ here causes the function registered in
‘find-word-boundary-function-table’ to be called with arguments (13
16), but we wanted to stop at 8. By the time the driver asks if anyone
wants off the bus, we’re already way past our stop!
