Um, I like to know who's speaking. "CM", "monpublic", "C" don't mean much to me. Have we met? Do you have a real name? Dos anyone here know you? (Georg perhaps?) While in general this isn't a forum where we count votes much, anonymous votes really don't count for much at all.

Oops, posted from the wrong email address (sorry Georg):

To switch this into a positive idea from a negative one, I am -1 on using 't' -.5 on having octal literals at all, since int('0755',8) does the job nicely when needed +1 on 'o' if we must have them in the language, since the first letter of the radix name is easier to grok than an obscure third letter that doesn't even have the pronunciation excuse that 'x' carries in English. - C
