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.

SRFI Editor
