Solving what? If you think you see a bug, then
`M-x report-emacs-bug'. (I don't see any bug.)
Different contexts, whether programming language
or anything else, are free to define different
syntax.
It's up to any given context to come up with
appropriate behavior for moving over various
syntactic thingies there, whether words, sexps,
sentences, whatever. A comma in Lisp isn't the
same as a comma in JavaScript...
Vive la différence !
