The 'b' notation is useful when importing numbers which were originally supplied in non-base-10 format. (Hexadecimal, octal and binary are relatively common in some contexts.) That said, I imagine that it would have been nice if the letters used for digits had been ALL CAPS, which would have allowed 'b' notation to be intermixed with the rest of J's constant language.
