REVISION SUMMARY
  Returns whether the character @p c is a word delimiter.
  A delimiter defines whether a characters is a word boundary. Internally,
  delimiters are used for matching keyword lists. As example, typcally the
  dot '.' is a word delimiter. However, if you have a keyword in a keyword
  list that contains a dot, you have to add the dot to the
  @e weakDeliminator attribute of the @e general section in your
  highlighting definition. Similarly, sometimes additional delimiters are
  required, which can be specified in @e additionalDeliminator.
  
  Checking whether a characters is a delimiter is useful for instance if
  text is selected with double click. Typically, the whole word should be
  selected in this case. Similarly to the example above, the dot '.'
  usually acts as word delimiter. However, using this function you can
  implement text selection in such a way that keyword lists are correctly
  selected.
