Parser fails to parse column references that include "*"

[mbornstein]

The following SQL cannot be parsed even though it is perfectly valid (at least in PG 17)

select "a column with *" from table

fails with:

invalid syntax at line 1 col 8:

  select "a column with *" from table;
         ^
Unexpected input (lexer error). Instead, I was expecting to see one of the following:

    - A "kw_all" token
    - A "kw_distinct" token
    - A "kw_from" token
    - A "star" token
    - A "lparen" token
    - A "kw_where" token
    - A "kw_group" token
    - A "kw_order" token
    - A "kw_for" token
    - A "kw_not" token
    - A "kw_offset" token
    - A "kw_limit" token
    - A "kw_fetch" token
    - A "kw_union" token
    - A "semicolon" token
    - A "word" token
    - A "op_plus" token
    - A "op_minus" token
    - A "kw_cast" token
    - A "kw_current_schema" token
    - A "kw_current_schema" token
    - A "kw_true" token
    - A "kw_false" token
    - A "kw_null" token
    - A "qparam" token
    - A "kw_default" token
    - A "word" token
    - A "word" token
    - A "word" token
    - A "word" token
    - A "kw_precision" token
    - A "kw_array" token
    - A "kw_array" token
    - A "kw_case" token
    - A "kw_primary" token
    - A "kw_unique" token
    - A "quoted_word" token
    - A "word" token
    - A "float" token
    - A "int" token
    - A "kw_current_catalog" token
    - A "kw_current_date" token
    - A "kw_current_role" token
    - A "kw_current_schema" token
    - A "kw_current_timestamp" token
    - A "kw_current_time" token
    - A "kw_localtimestamp" token
    - A "kw_localtime" token
    - A "kw_session_user" token
    - A "kw_user" token
    - A "kw_current_user" token
    - A "string" token
    - A "eString" token
    - A "kw_any" token
    - A "kw_some" token
    - A "kw_all" token

this is due to * being explicitely excluded in the wordQuoted regex here

wordQuoted: {
        match: /"(?:[^"\*]|"")+"/,

unsure if there is a reason for this I am not aware of or if this can just be changed?
