Selection is dependency-free (no POS tagger or NLTK download). Use ``ContentWordSelectionStrategy`` by default, or pass any ``WordSelectionStrategy``. This converter splits on any whitespace (``\\s+``) and never yields empty tokens. ``SelectiveTextConverter`` splits on a single space by default, so ``WordIndexSelectionStrategy`` indices match only when the prompt is already single-space-separated, with no leading, trailing, or repeated spaces. Tabs, newlines, and doubled spaces produce a different index space here because those separators are preserved rather than treated as part of a token.
