While I too like the change, there can be a user cost. For example, it makes using grep across a project slightly more annoying. Much like the flexible identifier rules in nim, it feels great but using common tools suddenly needs more thought.

Would it make sense to have an editor display a number in a more readable fashion while the source code itself has the grep-able version? I'm not a fan of ligatures myself but that is also done purely as presentation logic.
