export get_wordchars

[phajdan]

Please add get_wordchars to exported library functions. Without it, the tokenization has to rely on manual parsing of the affix file.

It would be helpful for users of the hunspell binary (such as Emacs) if this information were also available from that program. See https://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=17742

I just noticed that this issue can be closed, as the get_wordchars function has been exported since at least 1.2.10 (the earliest release mentioned in git).

Indeed. I should just note that get_wordchars() should not be used at all by client applications, it is not very reliable information. More sophisticated tokenization should be applied. Eg. the apostrophe is a character that sometimes should be taken as part of the word (when used as genetive 's) and sometimes not (when used as quotation mark).
