Most of the discussion on these issues occurred on the Python-3000 mailing list starting 14-Mar-2007, prompted by Raymond Hettinger's observation (cleverly couched as a question) that the average human being would be completely mystified upon finding that prepending a "0" to a string of digits changes the meaning of that digit string entirely.
Reminds me a contrario (?) of a .sig I used for a while :
123 ? - the least natural integer (except perhaps for 12) that's symbolizing the whole set just by itself. Successor : 1234
