I had requested this change once to help cut and paste.

The current behavior I get for selecting hash1..hash2 with (for
example) gnome-terminal is somewhat unfortunate, (double-clicking on
any character selects the pair plus the separator). Obviously, '.'
must be considered a word character, not a separator. I wonder if such
selection is easily capable of being told to consider ".." a word
separator? If so, it seems the output would be quite convenient
whether one or two of the hashes were desired for selection.
