Just figured these out. 

The whole find_word_bounds() routine could/should be rewritten or
broken out per language. Mixing Perl, C, Bash, Make, Java "words" in
one routine I think is very confusing.

Perl allows for things like  My::Package->hash{$file}, %hash
Bash allows for things like address@hidden, ${1:-}, file*
GNU Make: $(FOO), $>, $@
C: *x->file[0].s

And lastly, this mailing list hides the sender so when folks respond
(as they have), I have no idea who responded. Now that this is a
subscribed list, with very little traffic I don't know why sender
information should be hidden.
