The point (full stop) is accepted as a word character by TextCursor. Bug?

I rarely write user code for Writer, and thus rarely use TextCursor objects.
Recently, however, I did that, and was stunned to find that the period (full stop), among all the main suspects (!.?,;: ), was the only character treated like a letter by the method gotoEndOfWord(). Concerning the hyphen which also is \W for RegEx I can(?) understand a special treatment here, but the point!
Your opinions and experiences? Should I report a bug?
