FWIW, I like the new behaviour, it gives me more control. I mostly use
the C-w binding when I want to search for a procedure name, and
sometimes it ends with a number of underscores, like this:
PROCEDURE Do_The_Stuff___ (foo IN NUMBER) IS
Previously, having point at D, when using C-w, using it three times
to "eat" the last f in "Stuff", if typed once more it ate I think all the
way to foo. Now three extra C-w eats all the underscores, which is
what I want, most of the times. I have never thought about the new
behaviour as being cumbersome.
