Subject: 23.1; `C-s RET C-w' to start word search

The NEWS file for Emacs 23 says that

    In Isearch mode, a special case of typing `C-w' at the beginning of
    the minibuffer that toggles word search (i.e. using key sequences
    `C-s RET C-w' or `C-s M-e C-w') is obsolete.

But in fact it doesn't seem to work at all.
