When I apply this search:

/\v([ \t]|^)[0-9]+\_s

to this line:

123 123.0 123. 456 0.123 .123 789

it stops only at each integer. Is that close enough?
(It includes leading space. But perhaps \@<= could fix that, if it's
important?)

I would have expected

/\v[ \t^][0-9]+\_s

to also match, but '^' isn't working for me as "start of line" in the
character class. (It is only as first character in the class (Vim calls
that a "collection"), that it would negate the class.)

The regex has the benefit of being largely posix, just using vim's \_s
as shorthand for (whitespace or EOL). (Most posix implementations have
extensions, so why shouldn't vim?)
