It already does, at least in my testing.  If that doesn't work for
you, please submit a bug report with all the details, including the
exact file name you tried and the text surrounding it in the buffer,
the version of Emacs, and the data about the configuration and build
of Emacs (as collected by report-emacs-bug), and someone will
investigate.
