That's not really readable. Also what happens if you specify a base
higher than 36?
IMO we are fine with just decimals and hexadecimals. I don't really
think binary literals are that much of a need, as it's trivial to
translate hexadecimal to binary and back. Even C with their binary flags
all over the place don't use any binary literals. Arbitrary base
literals would be an overkill of useless-ness.
