YAGNI much? How often do you need a base-9 literal in your code??
I've used base-4 a couple of times, but not base 9 yet, excepting when
toying with stuff. But you need to be able to print numbers in those
bases too [not Python, or C]:
a := 3x2222222222 # base-3
println a:"x9" # displays 8888 in base-9
It's interesting to see the patterns that arise when doing arithmetic in
mixed bases.
Anyway, those extra bases were easier to leave in than to exclude.
