Highlight types in number literals for Rust #110

Closed snoopy closed 5 months ago

snoopy commented 5 months ago

Some other editors highlight the type part of number literals. E.g. in 456i32 the i32 part will be highlighted as type instead of a number. I think this makes a lot of sense and should be the default behavior in Textadept as well.

There is probably a better way to do this. The suggested change does not work with octal number literals (e.g. 0o01234u32).

What are your thoughts on this?

I am in favor of this, and committed https://github.com/orbitalquark/scintillua/commit/b789dde0ff9976f98a18012138c68f165a7e5867.

The octal number highlighting issue is unrelated to this change. The octal pattern does not recognize the '0o' prefix like binary ('0b') and hex ('0x'). That's a separate issue that may be worth looking into.
