(VB.Net) Doesn't highlight date literals e.g. #7/26/1970#

[Greedquest]

Describe the issue
Date literals are not highlighting correctly

Which language seems to have the issue?
VB.Net (and Stack Overflow uses VB.Net to highlight VBA and VBscript as well, which have the same syntax and so same problem)

Are you using highlight or highlightAuto?
Not using auto detection, using language tags
...

Sample Code to Reproduce

Sub TestDateLiteral()
    Dim Anne As Person, Bill As Person
    Set Anne = Person.Factory("Anne", "F")                  'No Date Literal
    Set Bill = Person.Factory(#7/26/1970#, "Bill", "M")     'With Date Literal
End Sub

Confirm, no magic date patterns anywhere to be seen. PR would be welcome. :-) If you know JS and a little regex this one shouldn't be too hard.

What different formats of dates are allowed for date literals?
