This command solves a long-standing annoyance I have had when working
with diffs.  To my knowledge there is no existing way to achieve this
(rectangular selection might be possible, but that behaves differently
when the text is yanked).  The binding "w" seems intuitive when
contrasted with "M-w", but might be confused with "W" (widen).  Not sure
if that is an issue or not.
