Although \w and \W do include as "word characters" locale-specific characters (like
"é" if you are using the "fr" locale), \b and \B do not work the same way.
For example :
"foo était bar" => /\W(était)\W/ => This captures correctly
"était".
"foo était bar" => /\b(était)\b/ => This fails to capture it.
This is confusing, because the manual talks in both cases about "word characters", but
fails to mention the difference in behaviour.
