Isn't there also a problem when some such character is there in a  
comment? Wouldn't it make more sense to use sexpressions? One of:  
backward-sexp/backward-up-list/up-list? This could be used to climb  
higher one level, if the previous region isn't worth enough to be  
deleted. With kill-sexp.

These backward-sexp/backward-up-list/up-list should take into account  
what is defined as delimiter.
