Here's a somewhat naively implemented example where a custom text-object is
defined that allows you to operate on a function name whether the cursor is on
the
name itself or on its arguments. You can yank with yF, change with cF,
uppercase
with gUF, etc. I can't think of any other way to do this, or more complicated
language-based custom text-object definition--e.g. yank/change a whole
conjunction
or disjunction in a logic language, yank or change the condition of an 'if' or
'while' loop from anywhere within its body. Some of these would be more useful
than others, of course, but there are a lot of real world possibilities, I
think.
