Hi Nick,

APL historically has required consecutive numbers to be separated by at least one character that can't be part of a number. 

This differs from the lex approach of matching the longest legal thing, and not caring about the next thing beginning immediately thereafter.

Since doing it differently doesn't add any new functionality, it's probably best to just stick with the way it's always been done.

Such occurrences in peoples code are almost always typos, and it's best to tell them about them.

Agreed.
