Here's the abstract:

Many people find that large numbers are easier to read when the
digits are broken into small groups.  For example the number
`1582439` might be easier to read if written as `1 582 439`.  This
applies to source code as it does to other writing.  We propose an
extension of Scheme syntax to allow the underscore as a digit
separator in numerical constants.

Regards,

SRFI Editor
