   It should be ok, because I am usihg the check to know if I am in the
   middle of a word
   rather than at the beginning. I then just move to the beginning of the
   word before
   killing the work. Otherwise I simply call (kill word).

   As Stephen said, that matches only a decimal numeral or an ASCII
   letter. Dunno whether that's what you want.
   And if you just want a test, and don't need to also set the match data
   for some ulterior purpose, then use `looking-at-p', not `looking-at'.
