    doc: improve documentation of gtk_text_iter_inside_word()
    
    There is a possible confusion with the sentence:
    "@iter is inside a natural-language word"
    
    The iter should be viewed here as the pointed character (i.e. on the
    right of the iter), not as a position between two characters.
    
    Instead of improving the documentation, another solution would have been
    to change the implementation so it is interpreted as an iter position
    inside a word, i.e. between two characters that are part of a
    natural-language word. But maybe some applications rely on the current
    implementation.
