That's rather beside the point. Literals don't essentially come from files
or user input. Essentially literals are a subset of expressions, just like
function calls are, and they have to be evaluated by Python to yield a
value. I'm not averse to 32'rst', but we already have
Python 2.6.2 (release26-maint, Apr 19 2009, 01:56:41)
[GCC 4.3.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> int ('rst', 32)
