Regular expression construct for matching beginning and end of symbol

Hi,
GNU has \_< and \_> construct in regular expression with the meaning
(docs for \_< below)
matches the empty string, but only at the beginning of a symbol.
A symbol is a sequence of one or more symbol-constituent
characters. A symbol-constituent character is a character whose
syntax is either `w' or `_'. `\_<' matches at the beginning of the
buffer only if a symbol-constituent character follows.
Any idea how hard it would be to support that?
Not hard. The code would be similar to that for \< and \>.
