It will lead to a fork. If the maintainers want to remove simple 
literals because they think they aren't used, then this project 
aim is very low. Simple literal support is write once and its 
done and there forever without any maintenance at all. This also 
at the same time importC is claimed to be "simple", while working 
on it over a year.

I think that both octal and binary literals can be supported 
because it is trivial. It doesn't matter if you think they aren't 
used or not, somewhere there will someone who will absolutely 
love binary or octal literals. Also I agree we can have 0o syntax 
for octals and fix one blunder from C.

I don't understand, is this some kind of new ill will that 
programmers are now not allowed certain literals.
