Related, since comma-separated-expressions are useless, there's not reason not to allow let x = 1,000

At least in Portuguese, commas are used to separate integral from decimal parts. Please don't make a language that requires me to think about the locale used to represent numbers. :) Use dot or comma, but not both. They are too similar.

Curious: why isn't that already a problem for decimals? What is the "thousands separator" in locales that use `,` for the decimal separator?

Curiously, Haskell's parsing of `-` is whitespace-sensitive and never gets trolled by PL people.

But lisp lacks infix so it sidesteps the ostensible conflict.
