I'm confused: are you talking about producing underscores when formatting an
integer for hexadecimal output, or allowing numeric literals to contain
underscores?
Your perl example produces:

with not an underscore in sight. I'm

Sorry my request is for output, I am not requesting input. The examples were

My assertions are from another area aside from computer

How common is this 'common practice'? Could you point to some publicly
available examples? Are there other languages that have built-in facilities for
dealing with hexadecimal representations of integers in this way?
I think I've seen hex

I'll work on a proposal for the ideas list.
Other language examples to keep this in a thread though.
