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.
