It's probably an artifact of getting rid of octal literals and is clearly a
bug - though you probably shouldn't be starting literals with 0 due to
possible confusion with octal literals anyway (00 - 07 are permitted because
they're the same in both octal and decimal, but any other number literal
starting with 0 is illegal).
The error you get for something like
auto n = 08;
is a bit off too
q.d(5): Error: semicolon expected following auto declaration, not '8'
