with # denoting a digit of a particular numbering base (bin, oct, dec, hex),
can i get some input from ya'll regarding what would be common ways of
formatting numbers? for instance, i've seen the following forms:

oct
    /###

hex
    0x##
    0x####
    0x########
    #h
    0#h

dec
    #
    #d

bin
    ########b

--------------------------------
i'm trying to compile a list of all the millions of crazy notations used
when formatting numbers as text... i know the rules usually go that if it
ends in b,d,h,o, then you pretty much know what it is, with the exception
being hex numbers ending in b or d... and if there isn't any alphabetic
character or special symbol, then it's assumed to be decimal...
