[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Greetings,

This patch provides a new package for interacting with symbols, based on
the current word commands and the built-in package "subword".

A minor mode that replaces the word commands is also provided, also
inspired by the subword package, but additionally on the usage of
defvar-keymap I made in a PR I opened for the puni package[1].

- Points of discussion

Would the mention of this mode be a good addition to the documentation?

I don't know how to contribute to the docs, but I would look into doing
so if you think it's a good idea

P.S.: This is being sent from a different e-mail from the patch because
my e-mail provider, viz. Disroot, is having issues with spam, and that
was blocking my messages, so I decided to create a Gmail account to go
around that.

Regards,

Thanks.

Any comments to the patch, or objections to adding this mode to Emacs?

One nice feature this patch could have is to cycle among symbol naming
conventions: CamelCase, snakeCase, hyphen-case, underscore_case (any
others?) and that would make it convenient when a variable name with the
same components are used across modalities; e.g. in config files, json,
xml, protobufs, C/C++ vs. python, and in emacs-lisp-mode and Emacs C code,
cycling among to Fsymbol_name or Ssymbol_name?
