There is a proposal to extend the syntax of C++ to include undescore
in numeric literals. I wanted experience reports from a language
that has the feature.
I have received about 20 replies, all in favour. Is there nobody in
the Ada community that thinks that it is a useless feature? It seems
to rarely used for the simple reason that people rarely type big
numbers.
