Done, you now access to the RFC namespace. Have fun :)
Awesome! Thanks.
RFC added. I'm not sure what the protocol for RFCs is, but I put it under
the In Discussion heading. Sorry if I was wrong.

<http://wiki.php.net/rfc/binnotation4ints>
What languages are supporting this? (Besides PHP.) I'm not adverse to
the feature but if you say other languages are doing this on the RFC
page, please provide links to the relevant documentation of those
languages. Google is not being helpful - mostly just turns up this
particular discussion thread and Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_numeral_system
Mentions the notation briefly as being "common in programming languages"
but then fails to list relevant programming languages (Wikipedia
reference fail). I've never seen the option to do this in ANY
programming language I have ever used. But I have definitely wanted such
a feature on a few occasions.
+1 for the feature and setting a new standard with an approach that
makes sense.
Ah. Finally found something via Google. An ISO C99 extension not a
part of ANSI C++ but accepted by GCC even in C++ mode. Learned
something new today.

http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/C-Extensions.html
Hmm...now I'm wondering which is more correct: The phrase 'binary
literal constants', 'binary constants', 'binary literals', or 'binary
notation'? (Rhetorical).
