It is fairly easy to check for inconsistencies in Binary, Octal, and Hex

being integers, reals, and general format numbers (ie: #e+/-#) which are
all grouped into the "Decimal" category.  I'll think about it though.
Maybe I can come up with something.  :-)

Actually, as I was sitting here typing this it popped into my head that
such a test would actually fall under the Variable category rather than
the Decimal category since variables can start with any character or an
underscore; the opposite would be to start with something like a decimal
number.  A possibility maybe.  :-)

What /are/ you talking about?

If you're discussing syntax highlighting, numbers usually fall under
then Number group.  Some syntax definitions highlight a leading zero
as Special, as it does have special meaning, as it in some languages
denotes an octal number.

I have no idea of what you mean by "inconsistencies".

This "stream of thought" mode you're using is more suited for IRC, see
