fix highlighting multi-digit numbers

[AlexPoulsen]

it removes regex \b tags, which fixes highlighting multi-digit numbers for whatever reason

Can you give an example that this fixes the highlighting for? Because I'm seeing the same thing with both. It doesn't seem right to remove the \b - it would match numbers inside other tokens.

With \b:

Without \b:

it's not perfect, the hex literal isn't colored right, but it's better

I made a recent fix to this, and I suspect you're looking at a commit prior to that. Here's what I see (color scheme changed to emphasize the numbers):

The \b is still needed though, and that wouldn't affect matching multiple digit numbers, it prevents matching inside of other words. Not having them breaks hex parsing for example:

There are two improvements we could make, and you're welcome to make them here if you'd like to:

• Instead of \b at the beginning, use (\b|-) to capture leading negative sign
• The hex literal should accept A-F in addition to a-f

so it turns out my code to install the package had a bug and so i probably had an old version in there
