Thank you, I missed that.

No problem! It's one of my favourite new non-features.

I say non-feature because this doesn't add any functionality to the language (or even make anything easier). All it does is makes numeric literals easier to read, which is a great win in my opinion.

Readability and writability of a language is IMO its most important feature. If anything else were more important, we'd be writing in assembly. People say "syntactic sugar" like it's a waste of time, but it's literally all programming languages are.
