Cool feature enhancements!

A couple of features I'd like to see implemented would be:

1. Binary literals, such as 0b100101101, or something like that.

2. A not significant digit separator for better readability of long numbers:

1111_222_333_4444 would be parsed (lexed?) as 1111222333444,
of course banning the underscore from the beginning and the end.

Cheers!
