Comment:

 In miqro-19308.patch:

 * Unit tests from kurtpayne.
 * A new regexp that uses conditions instead of alternation.
 * It looks for a word break, a single digit, and then tests if that digit
 is zero.
 * This prevents the engine from testing multiple alternates after every
 word break.
 * Decimals and commas are allowed after the first digit.
 * Hyphen (negative) also allowed as the first char after the x.
