Make a leading 0 illegal,
I'm not sure what benefit that accomplishes.
It catches occasional mistakes such as:
int [] foo = [
001
010
100
];
which are admittedly very rare, though it actually happened to me
earlier this year. It's quite baffling when it happens -- took me ages
to track down. It's pretty similar to the way you made 'l' illegal as a
integer suffix.
int x = 0011l;
Looks like x==111, but in C, x is 9!
I see your point, but I'd like to add that it is rare enough that it has
never happened to me in 30 years.
