There aren't many people that write UR"WTF?" either, but odd
capitalisation is still legal syntax that can't be ignored completely
when making changes.
Compare:
0t755 0T755
0o755 0O755
0c755 0C755
0c755 is looking like the best candidate IMO (best looking lowercase,
least bad looking uppercase)
There's also a nice coincidental pattern that emerges from that option:
0b for Binary
0c for oCtal
0x for heXadecimal
Cheers,
Nick.
