python-mode does (or used to do) this with underscore (hyphen of
course denotes an operator in Python).  It got a *lot* of pushback.

The big problem with this suggestion is that it's very often useful to
change part of a hyphenated word, eg, from "pre-2000" to "pre-2005",
or from "sino-soviet" to "Sino-Soviet".

Just use C-M-f etc. when you want wordlike movement that skips past
hyphens and underscores.
