I wonder whether we really need a new keyword for old style word. I 
mean that an alternative could be to have a global property that 
controls whether word means the ascii word or the unicode word. It 
could actually function as a switch for any text handling, usable in 
the fashion of itemDelimiter, and eventually become obsolete in the 
more distant future. Something like

set the unicodeChunks to false/true
get the unicodeChunks
