wordDelimiter would be an interesting addition, but would have its own
complexities. You need to keep in mind that words are delimited by
whitespace: spaces, tabs, carriage returns, etc., but also by <some>
punctuation: commas, periods, semicolons, etc.

I also find that text within quotes being a single word is congruent
with defining arguments for comandline syntax.
