Just as a contrary point, I'm not particularly keen on the output format (which takes the form '0b1 * 2.0 ** 0' as far as I can see), and I'm definitely not keen on the fact that it's overloaded on the hex/bin/oct builtins. Can't it be a separate function? If it is, I don't much care about the output format (as I have no particular need for the feature) but would it not be better if it were machine-parseable, rather than executable?
