Hey all, I was recently working on some code which made use of bit arrays and I came across feature request 50648: Format for binary numbers. While it's just more syntactic sugar (0b11111011010 vs 2010/0x7da/03732), it doesn't seem like too bad of an idea and it is also supported by a few other languages. If there's any interest, I'll clean up the patch and resubmit.

I think it's a good idea. It won't spark interest in those that have already memorized the more compact hexadecimal representation of nibbles, but otherwise it's useful a simple non-BC breaking addition. -- Gustavo Lopes
