#Drifting off topic again: in heptal or duodecimal or decimal or hex or
#whatever, how do you write the radix? 10, of course. The solution I used
#in the proprietary radix extension was to have the user specify radix-1,
#that is, 6 -> heptal, f -> hex, 9 -> decimal, etc.

... another of those gems of ingenuity that so delightfully and so
frequently ornament this list.
