Re: [RFC] Number Format Separator

You mention no support for numeric strings, but how will settype($string, int|float), intval(), floatval(), is_numeric() and ctype_digit() work with this change? I do think if you don't change the semantics for strings to number conversion (which I agree you can't due to BC breaks) there should be an explicit way to support "1_000_000" => (int) 1_000_000. This should be part of the RFC. I presume that if you were to go from numeric to string the underscores would be stripped? What about a way not to do that? What will var_dump() etc. show?
