     improve word completion to use highlighting to detect word 
boundaries

     Summary:
     This allows better completion e.g. for Perl or PHP

     BUG: 360340

     Test Plan:
     Open some Perl script.

     Type:

     lala_test = 1

     $lala = 2

     Now type

     $lal

     You shall now get only "lala" as proposal
