Word chunk includes punctuation

Hmmm... odd again that 
put token one of word one of "test1!"

gives me
"test1" without the exclamation mark. 

The documentation states:
1. Each of the following characters is a token: =, +, -, *, /, [, ], (, ), {, }, <, >, and comma (,).

The exclamation mark is not one of those (unless I am token blind [again]) and yet it seems that it is being treated as one. 

This looks very much like an error in documentation.
