+1 on such a capability. -1 on underscore as the separator. When you proposed this last year, the counter-proposal was made <URL:http://groups.google.com/group/comp.lang.python/msg/18123d100bba63b8?dmode=source> to instead use white space for the separator, exactly as one can now do with string literals. I don't see any good reason (other than your familiarity with the D language) to use underscores for this purpose, and much more reason (readability, consistency, fewer arbitrary differences in syntax, perhaps simpler implementation) to use whitespace just as with string literals. -- \ “When in doubt tell the truth.
