[fpc-pascal] Underscores in numerical literals - grouping

To the topic:
 
Currently when I write the line (in Laz. editor):
 
const Num = 123456789;   
 
I can hover the identifier "Num" and I see tooltip:
 
const Num = 123456789
/file/name.pas(x,y)
 
And there is no tooltip when I hover the "123456789".
 
Maybe this is place for improvement.
 
Hovering the "Num" could show
 
const Num = 123 456 789
/file/name.pas(x,y)
 
while hovering the "123456789" could show just
 
123 456 789

I don't know about you, but I like this idea implemented in Java 7 and
 later.

 I always find it hard to read long numeric literals.
