Oh! I didn't think about that... Thanks!

Yeah, I noticed this (very cool) enhancement.
Thank you very much for all the commentary, too.

(Btw, I haven't really looked thoroughly at the implementation, but
while applying the changes, all those `(defun
vimpulse-{a,inner}-{w,W}ord ...)' immediately stroke my eye -- doesn't
this just cry for some kind of macro that would define all such things
for you or at least avoid some of the boilerplate?)

Yeah. Actually I think you could (should) rather have released 0.3.1 as
0.4, at least, or even 1.0. The amount of work (and improvements) done
to the package seems to call for a major version bump.

Best wishes,
