(forward-to-word) throws (wrong-number-of-arguments forward-to-word 0)
in spite of the doc string stating:

> Move forward until encountering the beginning of a word.
> With argument, do this that many times.

This behaviour is present in Spacemacs 28.2, and has been confirmed by
Daniel Nicolai on Emacs 30. It's also evident in the latest source code.

The same issue exists for (backward-to-word). But running each command
with M-x works with no argument.

I'm new to Emacs, so please take this with a grain of salt.  Thank you!
