Is there any chance the Number Format Separator RFC [1] could be revived for 
PHP 7.4? I looked at the discussion from a few years ago and it's not clear why 
many people originally voted against it.

JavaScript and Python have both gotten this feature recently and it's something 
I really miss in PHP when declaring/reading large numbers.

Maybe it would help to simplify how the restrictions are described in the RFC. 
As I understand it, the only restriction is that each underscore in a numeric 
literal must be between two digits. Perhaps the way the RFC described this 
syntax made it seem more complex than it is.

Best regards,

Theodore Brown
