bug#35491: Subject: 27.0.50; word-at-point, hand over optional argument

[Andreas Röhler]

Hi,

please permit ‘word-at-point’ to hand over optional arg ‘no-properties’

‘thing-at-point’ comes with an optional argument ‘no-properties’.
Seems there is no way to set it from calling ‘word-at-point’.

With attached patch:

(setq a (word-at-point t))foo

a ==> "foo"

;; current constraint:
(setq b (word-at-point))foo

b ==> #("foo" 0 2 (fontified t) 2 3 (fontified t rear-nonsticky t))

;;;
