Personally I think anything which WAS a language feature should 
be in object to keep the feature working out of the box. Not sure 
why people are so afraid to use it, not often you have to read 
object.d source, as long as it's just one file, it will be 
blazingly fast as always.

I don't think anyone is arguing in favour of 093 but 0o93.

I use octal seldom, but binary very often, google bitboards.

This has an obvious visual meaning but in hex it would be hard to 
read.
