Appropriate and informative error messages are properly
quality-of-implementation issues. As the dmd source shows, doing this
message is trivial.
DMD recognizes the octal literal then rejects it later. Ideally the
lexer should not accept 0\d{2,} at all.
2. this assumes std.conv.octal exists, though it may not be the case
(e.g. using Tango without Phobos (well Tango devs could add just
std.conv.octal)).
This change will not migrate to D1.
Yes. I mean Tango for D2 (if it will be finished?)
Anyway the above aren't really big problems. I don't expect newbies know
octal literals :).
