This was discussed before, there is a bug report filled by Don too:
http://d.puremagic.com/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=2656

I do think octal literal should be there for file permissions, being
a system programming language, it would be too odd for people doing POSIX
system programming not to have a way to easily manipulate file permissions
and masks included in the language.
