Regex rules with asterisks can give false positives

[medubelko]

Situation

Regex rules with asterisks interfere get tripped by the parser when there's content between multiple asterisks.

For example, this doesn't trigger rule 013:

2*4 equals eight

But this does:

2*4 equals 4*2

 1:1   suggestion  Consider using 'two' instead    Canonical.013-Spell-out-numbers-below-10 
                   of '2'                                                                   
 1:3   suggestion  Consider using 'four' instead   Canonical.013-Spell-out-numbers-below-10 
                   of '4'                                                                   
 1:12  suggestion  Consider using 'four' instead   Canonical.013-Spell-out-numbers-below-10 
                   of '4'                                                                   
 1:14  suggestion  Consider using 'two' instead    Canonical.013-Spell-out-numbers-below-10 
                   of '2'                                                                   

Request

I recommend either:

• Find a workaround
• Remove asterisks and other standard syntax characters from rules

I didn't test with scope: raw.
