Description
For instance:
p({ 2_weeks: 1 })
results in:
a.rb:1: trailing `_' in number
p({ 2_weeks: 1 })
a.rb:1: syntax error, unexpected local variable or method, expecting =>
p({ 2_weeks: 1 })
and
p({ :2_weeks => 1 })
results in:
a.rb:1: trailing `_' in number
p({ :2_weeks => 1 })
a.rb:1: syntax error, unexpected integer literal, expecting literal content or terminator or tSTRING_DBEG or tSTRING_DVAR
I'm not sure if it's doable as ruby thinks I'm writing a number, just wondering if that could be possible to start a symbol with a number
(I know { "2_weeks": 1 }
works, that's what I'm using instead)

You may not know that:
p({ '2_weeks': 1 })
# => prints {:"2_weeks"=>1}
Such symbols being quite rare, I believe this solution should be enough.
