Rietveld issue: 13256053 (http://codereview.appspot.com/13256053)
Issue description:
  Stop \lyricmode { \skip 1.*3 } from failing.  The problem was that
  the lexer preferred to match ".*" as a word since the matched
  pattern was longer than the explicit pattern matching ".". The word
  pattern is now amended so that it does not compete with the single-
  character patterns.

Thanks for the report.
