Release Notes for 405

I don’t need it, but I don’t see why it couldn’t be added. (probably no one uses it, considering it took a few days to find about it being removed, and I don’t use it myself)

Although, I could use it to make my code worse.

If I ever do need this in the future, I could probably just do the equivalent.

--0x[hex]p[exponent]
(0x[hex]*2^[exponent])
--0xfp2
(0xf*2^2)
--plus, this works with fractional exponents unlike the 0x[hex]p[exponent] format
--or even other represenations (10 -> 1e+1 -> 100E-1 -> 0X0A -> 0B_10_10_)
--which seem even less useful

Forgot to mention, but will the digit separator be supported by the number highlighter?

We have a pending project to rework syntax highlighter to use the same tokenizer we use for the actual compiler; I don’t think we’re going to fix the existing highlighter separately, but that would fix this and other issues.
