Two things:

1. Just a note that Pugs doesn't yet do _ in numbers, but should
2. I'd really like to see a warning on non-standard _ breaks, e.g;

Is that a function? E.g. is this valid?

        $x += :16($y)

?

        $input.radix($radix)

? I'd suggest that this be a universal virtual method that strings get a
definition for.
