[Lazarus] How should "delete to end of word behave"

[Marius]

I'm a of the option to delete the spaces behind the word also to make 
the editor turbo and delphi compatible. Its not because i want it to be 
fully compatible, but handling it this way requires a lot less 
keystrokes if you want to delete the first 4 words in a sentence.

I was testing a bit more last night and i was wundering about the 
following situation:
a:= 'foo_bar| and xyz';
a:= 'foo_bar xyz';
Is this how it should behave ?
(watch the spaces)

Greetings,
Marius
