Is the world coming to an end?

About time someone dropped the 0777-nonsense. The least common digit-base  
should not easily be invoked "by accident".

However:

I too was just about to ask why on earth "octal!" instead of 0o (and I  
didn't know about Python3).

Sure, I think it's nice and clean language-wise to implement it as a  
template-function, but if so the same should go for 0b and 0x? Are they too  
deprecated in D2?
