+======Synopsis:======
+$__word__(<index> <list>)
+======Technical:======
+   * If the <index> argument is omitted, the empty string is returned.
+   * If the <list> argument is omitted, the empty string is returned.
+   * The <index> argument is taken as an integer number.
+   * If <index> is a negative number, the empty string is returned.
+   * The return value is the <index>th word in <list>, counting from zero.
+   * Remember that <list> is a list of [[what is a word|words]].
+   * In either case, the returned value is NOT double quoted if it has spaces.
+   * If <index> is greater than the number of words in <list>, the empty string is returned.
+======Practical:======
+Use this function when you need to extract a specific word from a list.
+======Returns:======
+The <index>th word in <list>, counting from zero.
