So what's the current state of the "universal-base-prefix" syntax?
Something like 10x10, 16xA and 8x12?
An interesting thought -- I like the consistency. On the other hand, I have a hard time imagining that this is such a common need that it requires syntactic support. The int type should cover most use cases:
py> int("10", 10) 10 py> int("A", 16) 10 py> int("12", 8) 10
