Also, base 4 is very useful on Parallax's Propeller microcontroller because 
it's graphics stuff involves a lot of packed 2-bit values. Not that the 
Propeller is necessarily powerful enough for D, but I'd image there must be 
other embedded systems that do things with packed 2-bit values which could 
therefore benefit from base 4.
