Mechanism to provide number grouping in numeric literals

When I want to write code to put timeout for 3 seconds, I prefer to write.

setTimeout(afunction, 3 * 1000);

This to avoid accidentally putting 30000 (or 300).
I wish there was mechanism to provide number grouping in numeric literals.

Java and C# come up with a underscore format.

Additional Numeric Literal Formats)

Is there an plan/proposal for number grouping in JavaScript?

Cheers

Typically for setTimeout I use exponential notation to denote seconds, or
when there's lots of zeroes - ie, `1e3` means "1000 ms" or "1 s". eg for
300,000, I'd do 300e3, or for 30,000,000 I'd do 30e6.
