I'm not sure I like it or not.

I'll do this quite often while reading C or Lisp file:

  Move point to the head of function/variable, say,
  THIS-FUNCTION-DO-THIS-AND-THAT.  Then, type C-s C-w C-w
  C-w C-w C-w C-w C-s .. to search for that name.

With your change, I must type C-w 11 times instead of
current 6 times.
