I see it as a readability issue -- if you have 1_024 and _1025 (etc, etc), where one is a number and the other a name, confusion can easily result.
I don't think there will be *that* much confusion though. _1025 can occur on the LHS of an assignment, 1_024 cannot. And we already distinguish between x1234 and 0x1234 without much confusion. -- Steven
