If you enclose boza in ascii quotes, it doesn't fit the definition
either, but is recognized as a word. There is no reason to guess,
Scintilla is open source, and here is the exact definition:

/**
 * Check that the character at the given position is a word or
 * punctuation character and that the previous character is of
 * a different character class.
 */
bool Document::IsWordStartAt(int pos) {

And the same goes for word end and whole word. Weird.
