`kill-region-or-backward-word', then.  And the
open question then should be whether to bind that
new command to C-w _by default_.  (My vote: no.)

If you like, just suggest to users, somewhere, to
start using that binding.  See if its use becomes
popular, THEN revisit the question here of giving
it `kill-region's longstanding default binding.

Just one opinion.
