Ihor, Eli: What do you think of the attached patch? I added variables to 
let modes define custom providers for 'bounds-of-thing-at-point' and 
'forward-thing'. (Notably, I avoided adding vars for the 
'beginning-of-thing' and 'end-of-thing' functions, since those just call 
'bounds-of-thing-at-point' anyway.)

If this looks like a reasonable way to go, I'll continue work on this 
patch by adding entries to 'bounds-of-thing-at-point-provider-alist' and 
'forward-thing-provider-alist' in the appropriate places (i.e. wherever 
we already add to 'thing-at-point-provider-alist', like in EWW).
