my subtype is declared as so

subtype TelNumber is Integer range 1000000..9999999;

now you want me to change this to

subtype TelNumber is Integer range 1_000_000..9_999_999;

exact ? if so why is it better ?

Let's say for now I'm concentrating on finishing, and also I don't really
have the knowledge yet of why that would be the mechanism of choice , so I
couldn't defend my view, except for saying : " Martin Dowie said so on
Comp.lang.ada", I think that isn't a good argument ;).
I wouldn't accept it as a teacher, I think he wouldn't either
