I'm okay with installing both patches, but please first fix the few
minor nits below:

> +---
> +** New user option 'kill-word-dwim'.
> +This option will modify the fall-back behaviour of 'kill-region' if no
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"This option, if non-nil, modifies the fall-back behavior..."

> +region is active, and will kill the last word instead of raising an
> +error.

This should also say explicitly that users who turn off Transient Mark
mode will need to either activate the region ("C-x C-x" etc.) or
invoke the new word-rubout commands by hand, since otherwise the
region is never active for them.

> +(defcustom kill-region-dwim nil
> +  "Behaviour when `kill-region' is invoked without an active region.
> +If set to nil (default), the behaviour of `kill-region' stays the same.
                                ^^^^^^^^^                  ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"behavior", US English spelling.
The same as what?

Thanks.
