Yes, I do. That was one of the main reasons for switching to the less ambiguous 0o123 notation. I do think that we can afford to be picker for the dwimmier things nowadays, but that's probably covered by warnings being on by default. In any event, 123foo, 1e3f4x, 0o789, 0b1x, Info, and NaNa all produce warnings by default if used in numeric context. Extra whitespace should be ignored, however. And we might even allow exponents on 0x et al., though what radix the exponent is assumed to be is an interesting question, though. Larry
