When using `iedit-mode` directly (without slecting first), keyword do not get included in selection #130

When using iedit-mode directly on test (without explicitly selecting it first) in a buffer containing e.g.:

test
:test
test:

then the latter two test patterns do not get included in the selections (sorry, I have only tested this on Spacemacs). After explicitly selecting the word first, the command behaves correctly.

iedit use symbol boundaries by default. There is a variable 'iedit-use-symbol-boundaries' control it. You can set it to false. Then word boundaries will be used, as you expected.
