So you are saying that Smalltalk has <base in decimal>r<number> where
r is presumably for radix? That's maybe best of all. It preserves the
syntactic requirement of starting a number with a digit and seems to
have greatest flexibility. Not sure how good it looks but it's
certainly not bad.
0xff & 0x0e | 0b1101
16rff & 16r0e | 2r1101
Hmm. Maybe a symbol would be better than a letter.
Or Ada's 16#FF#, 8#377#...
'#' starts a comment, so that's right out! :-)
I forget if DEC/VMS FORTRAN or Xerox Sigma FORTRAN used x'FF' or
'FF'x, and o'377' or '377'o
