The word range lookup used NSString enumeration was a bit awkward to use. Its procedural nature to 'stop' and set captured variables outside of its context made it hard to follow.

During this refactoring, it turned out that, nlike NSString.rangeOfCharacter(...), enumerateSubstrings correctly handles Emoji. So it comes with a lot for free.

I couldn't get rangeOfCharacter for CharacterSet.whitespacesAndNewlines.inverted to not halt at Emoji. (Could be because some Emoji use 'joiners' which are detected as whitespace because the rangeOfCharacter method doesn't respect composed character sequences?)

I could get a custom character iterator to work, though.

In 05d10ed I reverted the custom loop to use enumerateSubstrings again, but limited to this 1 place, to use 1st part code that maybe contains additional optimizations.
