Some time ago I've asked on SO why most languages have `0` prefix for octal numbers. My opinion is the same as D designers that it cause a lot of bugs, but why octal numbers are avaible only by using `std.conv.octal`?
How often do you use octal numbers? The reason is simply to avoid language feature creep where a library solution is perfectly acceptable.
