I would suggest trying suffixes that don't have digits in them, maybe 'b'yte 's'hort 'i'nt 'l'ong instead of 'i8' 'i16' 'i32' 'i64' (except 'b' is a hex digit, so, I dunno). Underscores are a great bit of sugar, but you shouldn't feel like you absolutely have to use them every time you use a suffix, and there'll always be that one jerk on your team who runs their literals together without the separator. -Joe
