Supporting underscores (and space, commas, etc.) for separators is certainly useful, and it simplifies a parser if it doesn't have remove the separators itself. Should we add a char or string argument for which separators to skip (#f to deny all separators), or add another procedure?

Commas are a minefield. Some languages use a comma as a decimal point and a period as a mere separator.

And I seem to demember one programming language (I forget which one) that used underscore as the 'e' for an exponent.
