There is a proposal to extend the syntax of C++ to include undescore
in numeric literals.   I wanted experience reports from a language
that has the feature.

I have received about 20 replies, all in favour.  Is there nobody in
the Ada community that thinks that it is a useless feature?  It seems
to rarely used for the simple reason that people rarely type big
numbers.
