Bug description:  gmp_init treats leading zero as octal

Description:
------------
The documentation for gmp_init implies that a number will only be parsed
as hexadecimal if it begins with 0x, and decimal otherwise.

Thus:  "10"     means ten
       "0x10"   means sixteen
       "010"    means ten.

However, in practice, "010" is parsed as eight!.

Not sure whether this is a documentation bug, or an actual bug though.
Personally, I'd prefer "010" to mean ten, but I am aware of some
conventions in which it means octal.

Confusingly:
   $x=010   //$x is eight
   $x="010" //$x is ten


Please also correct the comment I added to the gmp_init page - I said that
it 010 was parsed as hex, when I meant octal.
