If we're going to kill the alternate radix literals, better to do

more than a week from now.

That x:123 part was my placeholder -- my bad, I forgot that was there when I was copying it. Yes, I think more likely scenarios would be

0b0110 or bin:0110
0c0123 or oct:0123
0x0123 or hex:0123

And almost certainly the former, not the latter. I'll put 0b, 0c, 0x for now (assuming we don't want 0o0123, which looks too, um, loopy.)

While we're at it, maybe we can add in 0rMCM to allow roman numerals too...

OK, see, the sad thing is that I really have no idea whether you're joking or not. That's how wiggy this thread has gotten.
