is there a way to configure --word-diff to be a more programming
language friendly? For example if I add one parameter to a function
declaration, I'd like to see only the addition of the parameter as the
change. But currently it shows much more.

Umm, what's wrong with

 echo '*.cpp diff=cpp' >>.git/info/attributes

Ok, the funcname patterns aren't so good, but the word regex is designed
to "tokenize" as far as that is feasible.

Thanks, that's very good! I've missed it reading the git-diff man page.
