 Let allow to use pretty numbers in code.

 Pattern looks like
  Digit_1 = d

  Inner_digit = d|`

  Many_digits = Digit_1(Inner_digit)*Digit_1


  Digits = Digit_1|Many_digits

 This numbers must be valid (and may be add to class Read):

 {{{
  100`000`000`000`000`000
  10`000`000.000`000`05
  0xFFFF`FFFF`FFFF`FFFF
  10`000e1`005
 and this:
  100`0`00`0`00`0`00`00``0`00```0
 but not this:
  ```1000```
 }}}
