Oh, I see.  I didn't realize you meant you'd invented a completely new
widget name.  I assumed you were referring to e.g.

zle -N forward-word forward-word-match
zle -N backward-word backward-word-match

Note that you have to be careful (as you were) that the new names you
bind to {forward,backward}-word-match contain the corresponding string
"forward" or "backward", and that you always bind both of them.  If you
don't, negative values of $NUMERIC will cause errors.

} That's what I meant (I think) :-).

Yes, I was agreeing with you.

On further checking, however, the value of $WIDGETFUNC within the widget
called by vi-delete appears to be ".internal" which means that although
it's possible to determine *when* one of these functions has been called
from vi-delete, it's not possible to determine under which name it was
called.  So a custom vi-delete replacement appears to be required, and
perhaps we should consider adding one to the distribution.  The same is
going to be true of vi-change and any other widget that combines with a
motion widget in this way.
