Apostrophe as a number separator?

Where’s that from?

Switzerland and Italy for two. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_separator#

Also note C++14 introduced the apostrophe in numeric literals! https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/integer_literal

Apostrophe are nice because they are not ambiguous. Started using them myself after getting used to them from C++ and learning that they are used in switzerland.
