Double click and drag should select words. Triple click and drag should select lines.

As per processing issue 576 
<http://code.google.com/p/processing/issues/detail?id=576> which I also 
provided a patch for and which has been incorporated into processing since 
April 2011.

Double click and drag should select words.  Triple click and drag should select 
lines.

Also, as noted in  issue 59  (from 2006!), double clicking on space should 
select only the spaces, not all non-space characters.

Attached is a diff that resolves these issues.  Triple click and drag selects 
lines.  Double click and drag selects words.  Words are defines as sets of only 
one kind of: letter/digit/etc characters; whitespace; everything else.  
Technically, "everything else" should probably each individually be treated as 
a single character words, but in practice this is a good tradeoff.  For example 
++ and += are treated as a single word, but so is ");".

Here is a "-Naur" format diff, which might be better.
