You could do this, which is essentially the definition of
`backward-kill-word' with "delete" substituted for "kill":
(delete-region (point) (progn (forward-word (- arg)) (point)))
That is the recommended way to do it. I think this is cleaner than
using a kill command and faking it out so it won't kill.
