This is why I'd like them banned. Sometimes I write things like
switch(a) {
case 143: do something; break;
case 642: do something; break;
case 011: do something; break;
}
Using the leading zero just because I want it to line up in pretty columns.
It has been a long time since I've actually made this mistake and got bit
by it, but it has happened to me before. I'd feel better if it was a
compile error just to ensure it never happens again.
