<!-- there is a bug in the scanning engine such that a regex style pattern like (#|//) won't work. The reason is that
there is special code if a pattern ends on a symbol. That code fails on the above pattern because both # and / are ends 
for this pattern and both of them are a symbol. That's why we have a separate entry for # and for // -->
<element pattern="#" highlight="php-comment">
	<context idref="c.php.short.linecomment"/>
</element>

question:

a pattern like: -?[0-9]+ fails, and [0-9]+(\.[0-9]+)? fails too.
we need:

• [0-9]+\.[0-9]+
• -[0-9]+\.[0-9]+
• [0-9]+
• -[0-9]+
