My suggestions for Walter are:
- To turn 01 .. 07 too into errors;
- to deprecate the octal! Phobos template.
- To introduce the 0o leading that works from 0o0 to the uint.max;
- To change the new error message, so it suggests to use 0o.
- To ask opinions to the community here next time before changing things in D2/D3 :-)
