Actions that triggered the bug
1. Start Emacs with the flag -Q: $ emacs -Q
2. Insert the number "123" in any buffer (preferably, the current one,
"*scratch*")
3. Place the cursor on any digit in the number that was written in the
previous step
5. Evaluate this sexp (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
