ClickHouse allows identifiers like '1alias1name1' as aliases after AS. The lexer now recognizes these as identifiers rather than treating the leading digits as a NUMBER token followed by an IDENT token. The change adds a check in readNumberOrIdent to detect when digits are directly followed by letters (excluding exponent notation like 1e5 and base prefixes like 0x, 0b, 0o).
