The thinking in the underlying code, which was co-opted for this
purpose, is that a 'word' ends at punctuation. It's pretty deeply
rooted and would be annoying to change in general, which will
mean hacking it for your particular purpose.
Instead, I recommend just avoiding expansion in this case and
selecting the whole string you wish to send.
