M-Backspace deletes word backword.

What one can do to avoid kill ring is to set variable `kill-ring-max'
to zero with {M-x customize-option RET kill-ring-max} and then it will
not be saved in the kill ring. That is not accurate result for the
wish though. Undo works well, but kill ring becomes empty.
