OK, I wrote a first draft:
<https://github.com/lassik/srfi-underscores-in-numbers/blob/master/srfi-nnn.adoc>
Is this reasonable? I mostly copy-pasted or lightly reworded some
sentences from this mailing list thread. In particular, John's Indian
English example and his list of programming languages that already
support underscores in numbers. (I left Scala out of that list since
they're not yet sure whether they will support them.)
