I'd been working on something like that off-and-on, though I haven't got
as far as adding styles to it.  Maybe you can give an example of how to
do with your widgets what I have been trying to do with mine:

I want the definition of a "word" to be context-sensitive.  For example:
If the cursor is within a shell word that contains a "/" character, then
I want "ZLE words" to be pathname components (and transpose-words should
transpose around the nearest "/" either under the cursor or to the left);
but if the cursor is between two shell words, then I want "words" to be
shell words, e.g., pathnames including the slashes.

} By the way, I think something is a bit screwy at the moment in the
} handling of cursor positions in undo.

This has been an issue for a long time.  Undo almost never leaves the
cursor where it was before you "did," unless you were at the end of the
buffer the whole time.
