[patch #5871] enhance selection in xterms

[Oswald Buddenhagen <INVALID NOREPLY gnu org>]

Follow-up Comment #5, patch #5871 (project mc):

i always found it a bit ugly without the surrounding spaces. otoh, screen
real estate is scarce ...

fwiw, the delimiter chars can be configured, at least in xterm.
one could more heuristics to the terminal (to detect paths, urls, etc.), but
it will always suck. the real solution would be having the applications send
some new zero-width delimiters to the term. that is a *lot* of work, though,
and i certainly don't expect it to happen.
