bug#54553: 28.0.91; foobar

[Rodrigo Morales]

Actions that triggered the bug

1. Evaluate (bounds-of-thing-at-point 'number) in a number.

Current result

"nil" is returned

Expected result

The boundaries of the number should be returned.

Additional information

First, some context: The following sexp (thing-at-point 'number) is able
to get the number at point. For example, when the cursor is on any digit
of the following number: 123, that sexp returns "123".

One might think that the following sexp
(bounds-of-thing-at-point 'number)
returns the boundaries of the number at point. However, this doesn't
happen because "number" is not a recognized value for the THING
parameter in the function bounds-of-thing-at-point although "number" is
a recognized parameter in parameter with the same name THING in
thing-at-point.

Note that both thing-at-point and bounds-of-thing-at-point belong to the
same package: thingatpt.el
