That's great Fergus.  I tried to implement this myself a while ago and
gave up.  I currently make do with a little macro:

	:map <F6> /^\<^R^W\>^M

This will search for occurrences of the word at the current cursor
position that start in column 1.   This will only work in Vim, not Vi,
but is extremely useful.

I suggest you change that to

		    printf out "%s\t%s\t/^%s\$/;kq|/^\\<%s\\>/;'q\n",

so that it requires an exact word match.

Likewise here.
