Research direction

Start by locating the PowerShell syntax grammar used for editor highlighting and compare its handling of the numeric examples in the issue with the current Sublime Text grammar. The work is done when the valid forms shown receive consistent highlighting across the relevant grammar rules and the examples are covered by an appropriate check.
