I don't think anyone use octal unless there is a very compelling reason. Thus,
I'd make it convert the octal literal to int("...", 8). If the programmer used
octal, it probably means something in his mind (eg: UNIX attributes) so I'd
leave it that way in the source code. The corresponding decimal/hex could be
totally meaningless in that context (or he would have not used octal in the
first place...).
