Will this change user’s behavior?
- As we introduce separators to the language for programmers, do we expect user input to change too?
- Concern is that users are going to expect _ to be allowed in form fields, etc
- parseFloat() and parseInt() left unchanged deliberately
- Two paths
- Introduce and couple a new method, Number.parse() to fill the gaps of parseFloat/parseInt
- De-couple, get numeric separators to stage 2, and look at these problems independently
- Strawman proposal
- De-couple, enable polyfills to fill the gap and converge (and standardize when/if they do).
