At this point, I see that other people have mentioned in other branches of the thread that they would like to use loeading zeros as an alternate to spaces for visual alignment. But, I think think is one case where I can put words in people's mouths without risk of being wrong: I'm pretty sure even they would much rather leading zeroes be disallowed than have it silently change the literal's value.
