It's not really stupid, programming languages should ideally have
better support for internationalization. And parameterized syntax
isn't a new idea, or even that hard: we already have both
case-sensitive and case-insensitive syntax for PLT Scheme. So there's
nothing wrong with asking for alternate numeric literals.
I wouldn't hold my breath for an implementation if I were you (unless
you write it yourself), but you can certainly ask.
