Implement \b conversion

[sheerun]

It seems to me that \(\(\_^\|\_$\|\W\)\)\@= should work as replacement, no?

[sheerun]

Sorry, \(\(\(\_^\|\_$\|\W\)\)\@<=\|\(\(\_^\|\_$\|\W\)\)\@=\), but \(\<\|\>\) also works

I also found missing \b making target specific keyword (like new MyClass() instead of myNewVariable extremely limiting. Hope it get resolved!

[sunaku]

\(\<\|\>\) also works :heavy_check_mark:

@sheerun could you please submit a PR for this? I'm currently using it as follows:

let vim_regex = E2v(the_users_extended_regex_goes_here)
let vim_regex = substitute(vim_regex, '\\b', '\\(\\<\\|\\>\\)', 'g')

Thanks.

\B is unattainable, is it?
