Hello,

Given the following number with point at ★:

★12.34

number-at-point correctly returns "12.34".

However,(forward-thing 'number) puts point just before the period:

12★.34

while I'd expect:

12.34★

(get 'number 'forward-op)
     ⇒ forward-word

forward-word doesn't seem to be the correct forward-op for numbers.

Joseph
