Note that number isn't among the things mentioned in the function doc of
`bounds-of-thing-at-point'. It is, however in that of `thing-at-point'.
So the behaviour you describe is surprising, but it is documented :)
Perhaps both functions might want to get reconciled with each others.
But perhaps there is a deeper reason their "things" lists differ.
Cheers
