Sorry, I really don't like this. It takes away my
underlying mental model of how things should work.
What happens for "10_ 20_ + ." ?

It outputs 30, too.  The intended use of _ in Gforth is like this:

100_000_000_000 20_000_000_000 + . \ outputs 120000000000

or with groups of 4 for those environments where that is conventional.

What does your underlying mental model say how things should work?
