[issue28116] Error in what's new - PEP 515

[Pierre Ducroquet]

New submission from Pierre Ducroquet:

The what's new section about PEP 515 says :
«With PEP 515, though, you can use underscores to separate digits as desired to 
make numeric literals easier to read: 1_000_000_000_000_000. Underscores can be 
used with other numeric literals beyond integers, e.g. 0x_FF_FF_FF_FF.»

As far as I know, 0x is 2 ** 32 - 1, an integer.
I think the author meant «beyond decimals»

[issue28116] Error in what's new - PEP 515

[Brett Cannon]

Brett Cannon added the comment:

the author meant "integer literals" when he said "integers" which is accurate 
as the hex literal isn't quite the same (e.g. uses different parse rules, 
etc.). If you would still like to propose different wording then you can submit 
a pull request at github.com/python/peps for consideration.
