# C does in fact support octal literals, marking them as starting with an
# unnecessary initial zero. This is practically obsolete now, and in any case
# makes no difference to syntax-colouring. Binary literals were in theory
# rejected by the C standards body as useless, but are so useful that gcc
# and clang support them anyway.
