Matchit prevents {count}% from working in Visual mode

[lkintact]

Hi, your repository is specified in the "Known Bugs and Limitations" section of $VIMRUNTIME/pack/dist/opt/matchit/doc/matchit.txt, so I'm reporting the isssue here.

To Reproduce:

1. Run gvim --clean
2. Execute :packadd matchit
3. Execute :h index.txt
4. Start Visual mode with v, V or Ctrlv
5. Type a number, say, 50, and press %. Instead of extending the selection to the middle of the buffer gVim does nothing.

Environment:

• Vim version 8.2.2146
• OS: Windows 10 Home 1803
• Terminal: GUI.

Thanks for the fix. I may not understand something, but shouldn't the new, fixed matchit code replace the old one in the Vim source tree? Vim 8.2.2375 still comes with matchit version 1.17.

I haven't tagged a new release yet to be submitted to Bram
