I don't agree that underscored numerals (which already exist in FPC btw 
as modeswitch UnderscoreIsSeparator) and these reordering of operators 
can be considered equally impactful. These operator reorderings should 
be kept separate from potential other changes so mode switches like 
"DelphiSyntacticSugar" or "DelphiSlang" are not a good idea. 
"ReorderedOperators" would be more precise.
