Not a bug. :)

In 8.0, the `define` keyword removed support for barewords in values[1]. In
8.1, support for explicit octal integer literal notation[2] came. I'm
unsure if this is documented appropriately, but I knew what the RFCs were
off-hand. Docs for 8.1 are still in the process of completion.

throws error in 8.0)
