It just as easy with binary literals as D supports the _ 
delimiter 0xb0100100_10010010_01001001_00100100. You can use the 
_ as you prefer. It is actually irrelevant what you think, if D 
would have been a commercial project you would have supported it 
because some customers would have demanded it. You would put a 
student on it to implement it during a weekend for a few dollars 
and movie ticket.

I can't believe this discussion. Initial motivation was to save a 
few lines of code, now the discussion more or less like what 
color of your underwear that is the best.
