Hi Esben,

Someone has already given a lot of thought to the general problem you're
trying to solve, and come up with an elegant generalized solution.

See https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el and the accompanying
screencast: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_RvHz3vJ3kA

My hotkey is <M-r>

With point on "b", as you describe, I press M-r twice and the region is
expanded exactly as you require.
