Well, yeah, that was a silly syntax. I don't know what the C
designers were thinking with that.
But using 0o solves all those problems.

Well it isn't like the cheapness really matters tbh since it is a
small job. And it is a kinda cool technique that D can do it. I
use it in other places too.
Just compared to the 0x and 0b and a prospective 0o.... you're
right, it is solidly meh.
