Good point. As I recall, we expended an enormous amount of effort
working on template syntax, and I certainly feel that
octal!"177"
is far better than, say:
octal<"177">.value
but when I compare it to
0177
What about O!177?
template O(ulong i)
{
static if(i <= 7) enum O = i;
else
{
static assert(i%10 < 8);
enum O = O!(i/10)*8 + i%10;
}
}
OTOH you cant do:
O!17777777_7777777_7777777;
as that overflows as a base 10 number but not as a octal number.
