I wasn't enough specific again? It rotates words in command line not
letters in words. The usage is then I think clear, to go to some
previous word, edit it, and put it in its original place again.
Alternative to Alt-b in bindkey -e.

Too relying on established word set like "shell word". Some users
might not be aware that this will allow them to rotate sophisticated
command lines with words like a\ b\ c.
