[ruby-core:106704] [Ruby master Feature#18410] Proposal to make inspect include underscores on numerics

Issue #18410 has been updated by sawa (Tsuyoshi Sawada).


In agreement with mame's comment, even if we can come to an agreement on the spec, I think it should be a property of pretty print rather than normal inspection.

Feature #18410: Proposal to make inspect include underscores on numerics
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/18410#change-95390

* Author: brightbits (Michael Baldry)
* Status: Open
* Priority: Normal
----------------------------------------
The documentation for inspect reads "Returns a string containing a human-readable representation of obj." but for large numerical values, while 964218442 is human-readable, 964_218_442 is a lot more readable. The language allows the use of underscores to make numbers more readable, so why should inspect not also honour this?

Happy to provide a patch if this would be an acceptable change.
