The site shows CC-card and SSN number stored as numerics. I doubt there's ever a task that actually needs such storage (since both numbers should be considered as a set of characters ie strings). Maybe its a new feature that will inspire people to use more anonymous constants. They looked ugly before, but look how cute they look now if underscores. Having pure-functions available for pascal constant expressions is far more preferred than underscores. And it will also might make them even more readable and flexible. thanks, Dmitry
