Problem: vi: d{motion} and cw command work differently than expected
Solution: add new cpo-z flag to make the behaviour configurable
There are two special vi compatible behaviours (or should I say bugs?):
1): cw behaves differently than dw. That is, because cw is special cased
by Vim and is effectively aliased to ce.
POSIX behaviour is documented here:
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/
9699919799/utilities/vi.html#tag_20_152_13_81
2): d{motion} may make the whole delete operation linewise, if the start
and end of the motion are on different lines and there are only
blanks before the start and after the end of the motion.
Did not find a related POSIX link that requires this behaviour.
Both behaviours can be considered inconsistent, but we cannot easily
change it, because it would be a backward incompatible change and also
incompatible to how classic vi behaved.
So let's add the new cpo flag "z", which when not included fixes both
behaviours and make them more consistent to what users would expect.
This has been requested several times:

https://groups.google.com/d/msg/vim_use/vunNWLFWfQg/MmJh_ZGaAgAJ
https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/4390
So in summary, if you want to have the w motion work more consistent,
remove the 'z' from the cpo settings.

These commands delete text. You can repeat them with the `.` command
(except `:d`) and undo them. Use Visual mode to delete blocks of text. See
|registers| for an explanation of registers.

An exception for the d{motion} command: If the motion is not linewise, the
start and end of the motion are not in the same line, and there are only
blanks before the start and there are no non-blanks after the end of the
motion, the delete becomes linewise. This means that the delete also removes
the line of blanks that you might expect to remain. Use the |o_v| operator to
-force the motion to be characterwise.
+force the motion to be characterwise or remove the "z" flag from 'cpoptions'
+(see |cpo-z|) to disable this peculiarity.
Trying to delete an empty region of text (e.g., "d0" in the first column)
is an error when 'cpoptions' includes the 'E' flag.
If you prefer "cw" to include the space after a word, use this mapping: >
:map cw dwi
-Or use "caw" (see |aw|).
+Alternatively use "caw" (see also |aw| and |cpo-z|).
