Okay but I wasn't really thinking about locales, underscores between digits is a D syntax feature and it makes numbers more readable.
I agree that using almost any (thousand) separator can make reading long numeric strings easier. I would still consider not exporting D's internal syntactical construct to outside world where it is never used that way. I do not favor any solution which is D-specific or suitable for insular Yankees only.
This sort of wrestling has already carried out in the past. For instance, the C90 standard work was prolonged by about a year because of adding the <locale.h> features that international community required. D can utilize maybe brighter technical solution, but still: No D-specific solutions and no localization as afterthought, please!
