AFAIK, I don't think it has been decided.  Some people like the old 
format, some people like the radix format, most people don't want 
'0123' to mean octal (which is why 0c0123 is there).  Personally, I 
don't see any big reason why we can't support the older format too, 
since it's familiar and oft-used.
