Refactor Word Expansion in TextBuffer #4423
Description
Description of the new feature/enhancement
In #4018, word navigation for selection and accessibility is merged into this mess:
GetWordEnd(withaccessibilityModeflag)GetWordStart(withaccessibilityModeflag)MoveToNextWordMoveToPreviousWord
There has to be a way to combine all of these into just 2 functions (or 4 with an accessibilityMode flag). Unfortunately, doing so at the time could have resulted in breaking Selection for the sake of Accessibility (if one was not careful). So here's a work item to refactor that and make it look waaaaay better.
Proposed technical implementation details (optional)
There's a good amount of repeated code/concepts throughout these functions. I think we should just rely on making the function return a bool and have an in/out param.
