Having underscore as a word character would do the right thing in
almost any file of any language including many plain text. It's not
random that all (?) regexp engines include them by default in the
"word character group", usually \w, together with letters and numbers,
and so does just about any text editor I can recall using. That it
doesn't here should be considered a real bug.
The others would be useful but aren't as critical, and in some
situations, like rename, they are actually contra-productive. It's a
trade-off, and moreover, it needs language-specific info to work well.
