Subject: bug#73404: 30.0.50; [forward/kill/etc]-sexp commands do not behave as expected in tree-sitter modes

While testing treesit-forward-sexp-list, I discovered that
thing-navigation functions are not restricted to named nodes.

I wonder if there a reason to find anonymous nodes as things?

The problem was found with the node "unless" in Ruby:

  unless cond
    a += 1
  else
    b -= 1
  end

Here the named node 'unless' has exactly the same name
as the anonymous node with the text "unless":

  (unless "unless" condition: (identifier)

Finding anonymous nodes breaks forward-sexp when point is on "unless":

  un-!-less cond
    a += 1
  else
    b -= 1
  end

because (treesit-thing-at (point) 'sexp t) finds

  #<treesit-node "unless" in 156-162>

instead of

  #<treesit-node unless in 156-203>

Also this breaks backward-sexp and backward-up-list
because treesit--thing-sibling finds
the anonymous node "unless" as a previous sibling
instead of the named node 'unless' as a parent.

Would the right solution be to check if the found thing
is a named node?  With something like:
