2. Octal literals! I think it'd be great to have a new octal syntax, or even
better, a general any-positive-inter-base syntax.
Both D and DMC accept 0b0000 as a binary literal. If 0x is hex, it seems
logical that octal should be 0o10.
It looks silly, but it fits the pattern, provides the literal for those
who use it, and isn't valid right now.
Exactly what I was thinking. 0o08.
Except I don't think it looks so silly.
And even if it does look silly, who cares. Octal literals *are* silly. :-)

Agree on all points. This is a sensible suggestion (IMHO).
