            Bug ID: 23970
           Summary: 0o for Octal
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified

People don't expect 010 == 8 to be true. Could you support a clearer prefix for
octal numbers (0o)?

Step 2 might be a warning for the old octal prefix.

AFAIK Python added support some time ago:
https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-3127/

I'm aware this isn't standard C++ but if this is possible I'd like to propose
it to ISO C++ as well.

I've started a discussion at isocpp.org as well:
