Hmm, I see.  I was under the impression that jukugo was the "word"
mode; I didn't realize it was actually "mono, but allow overlap if
necessary".

I definitely see how the "word" mode is necessary for ruby usage in
any other language.  Different keywords would be good, then, because
"auto" doesn't suggest jukugo.  I'll think on this a bit.
