Comment (by knarf):

 If I understood it correctly, the current (old) Cactus behavior is to
 evaluate 010 as octal number. I don't mind one way or another for octal
 numbers. I cannot think of a reason to use them, other than maybe some
 unix rights mask, but then we could have some other solution for that.

 Hexadecimal numbers might be another matter, these are more commonly used
 in general.
