Nothing to do with the patch from Ed, but the regex following his
correction matches a lot of things that decidedly are not "Numbers with
specific bases" as it claims to do in the comment.

Here, things like "+0bad" would match as a base 2 number, which doesn't
seem right.  If it's intended to match that broadly, I'd have expected a
comment to that effect.

No need for such a comment, as it is implicit that we assume the
user writes reasonable text that our patterns try to match.
