1. allow to use '_' in number literals. its used in Ruby and i found that this makes long number literals much more readable. for example
Sounds like something that can be solved with an infix operator:
(~~) :: Integer -> Integer -> Integer a ~~ b = a*1000 + b
Nice. Although the ~~ seems a bit intrusive. Since its use would be thouroughly optional, perhaps we could adopt an extended (A0-FF) character for this? Some candidates: 257 175 AF ¯ MACRON 267 183 B7 · MIDDLE DOT 270 184 B8 ¸ CEDILLA 260 176 B0 ° DEGREE SIGN Tempting to use B8 Cedilla, since it looks somewhat like a comma, and is less useful for other purposes -- but perhaps it would be to easily confused with a real comma? Ideally, one would also require a group of three digits to the right of such an operator. -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
