I think it's certainly wrong to do (1) -- a balanced set of parentheses
or so is not a natural extension of a word the way a symbol is, and it
seems useful for M-f and C-M-f to remain distinct under
`superword-mode'.  I don't have a preference between (2) and (3), except
to say that either the (2) version or the thingatpt version could be
(re)written to use \_< and \_> just like `cfengine-mode'.
