Underscores in Python numbers

Peter Hansen>Or maybe one should instead interpret this as "numeric
literals need more bells and whistles, and I don't care which of these
two we add, but we have to do *something*!". :-)

The purpose of my words was: when you think about adding a new
syntax/functionality to a language, you have to think well if the same
syntax can be used for something more important or more natural for it,
so later you can avoid later problems and silly compromises.
