I was thinking about using the nifty remap feature that Kim has implemented for CUA mode. Then interactively invoking word-based commands would exhibit the new behavior, whereas Lisp code would still see the same old behavior. But of course, it's also possible to use a minor mode map to change several keybindings. But let's wait for Kim's yank-word feature. I think it might be better than what I had in mind (at least for part of the functionality). -- Ambibibentists unite!
