Would it be possible to add binary number representation to pike? That is [0-9]* - dec 0[0-7]* - oct 0x[0-9A-Fa-f]* - hex [01]*b - binary

Binary constants can already be written with the syntax:

0b[01]*

0b10101010101011111;

Result: 87391

I'm not entierly convinced about the need for this, but perhaps it could be usefull (I recently had to poke at some x86 assembler with tasm, that's why I ask).

I don't really need it (it's easy enough to convert binary to hex in head) but perhaps it does have som use for the base convertingly challanged?
