Ada allows underscores in numeric literals since 1983, without enforcing any grouping. The Ruby language allows also this notation. You may write 1_000_001 or 1000_001 or 10_00_001, etc. (the same for real numbers...). When you have the habit to represent literals like that, all other big numeric literals or workarounds to create grouping seem cryptic. -- Eric Jacoboni, ne il y a 1435938104 secondes -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
