I again ask whether we need this command. It is okay to have a function (perhaps even an internal one) to move by Unix-words, but what are the use cases for such a command? > +(defun unix-filename-rubout (arg) > + "Kill ARG unix-words backwards, also treating `/' as whitespace. > +A unix-word is whitespace-delimited. > +Interactively, ARG is the numeric prefix argument, defaulting to 1. > +A negative ARG means to kill forwards. > + > +This is like `unix-word-rubout' (which see), but `/' is also considered > +whitespace. I'd say '/' is treated as word delimiter. "Considered whitespace" sounds strange to me. Should we also treat a backslash as delimiter, for MS-Windows?
