Very useful! This works especially well with bash's magic-space option in inputrc to automatically expand history expansions. (I couldn't use the top-voted answer because I've set ^W to break at slashes since that's usually more useful.)

@SorenBjornstad alt+backspace usually already stops at word delimiters like slashes, so you needn't change how ^W to get that functionality, you can have both delete non-word-character or whitespace delimited words
