I also oppose dropping binary literals. Although I don't use them often,
the few times I do need them I'm very glad they are there. I consider it
one of the niceties of D that C missed, and would be rather disappointed
if we dropped it. It would be a pain to have to resort to a template
just so I can use binary literals.
