When cleannig text with numbers, if the number is connected to a word, it will not be removed.

For clean("A fr1ie45nd 23 is a sec6on7d self", no_numbers=True, replace_with_number="") the expected output is "a friend is a second self" but the output is "a fr1ie45nd is a sec6on7d self"

If this is not intended, it is being caused by (?:^|(?<=[^\w,.])) and (?:$|(?=\b)) in NUMBERS_REGEX which limits the pattern so that it can only match words that contain only the pattern; therefore, if any letter is in the word, it will not find a match.
