C++ is in this group too.

The documentation of Perl explicitly says that Perl is in this group too (23__500 is not legal). Perhaps there is a bug in Perl implementation. And may be Swift is intended to be in this group.

I think we should follow the majority of languages and use simple rule: "only between digits".

I have provided an implementation.
