What bugs me with this RFC is that it seems to be mainly intended for grouping digits by 3, which from what I understand is cultural. At least some asian languages have a concept of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myriad and group them by 4, at least from the language point of view. It does seem when writing as numbers they still group by 3, but it seems other usages exists: https://japantoday.com/category/features/lifestyle/10-000-or-1-0000-japanese-schools-are-starting-to-move-commas-on-big-numbers-but-why Anyway, just wanted to point out that grouping digit may not be completely universal. I will not vote no on the RFC, most likely I won’t vote. But I think I will not use this in my code. Côme
