leading zero octals

So what dumbass though 0123 != 123 was a good idea?

>>12
Yeah, and the x86 instruction encoding is based on octal as well. Doesn't mean it isn't practically useless today. I don't see why any language should have reader level support for octal; like I said, offer an ``(octal 123)'' macro for the very few cases where you need an octal literal.
