Reconsider word breaks for haskell-cabal-mode

[geraldus]

One thing I dislike in haskell-cabal-mode that functions such

• left-word
• right-word
• backward-kill-word

and etc. do not considering point . as word break char, for example

  exposed-modules:  Internal.Type

if I place point at beginning of exposed module name Internal.Type and invoke right-word it moves point to line end, while I expect that point should go to beginning of "Type" (like in haskell-mode). Now if I invoke backward-kill-word it will delete whole module name, while I expect it will leave "Internal." part untouched.

That annoys me too! I found the cause of this and will post a pull request shortly.

Agreed. Can we treat hyphens as punctuation too, given how we use them in package names?
