I did notice that a few of them (R, CSS, Smalltalk, Raku) use a different list though, although it's commented out as you said. In any case, this only seems to affect what happens when you double-click a word or select "Find only whole words", but for instance Ctrl-click doesn't work if I declare a signal called foo$bar. Not too useful overall I guess.
Yes, I think it should eventually be improved in Geany, see https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/4038
