It seems to be quite common among µC C compilers.  Unlike the PORTB.0
notation where I don't see how this would ever fit at all into legal C
syntax, I can imagine that 0b is a perferctly legal vendor extension
for a compiler.

Just curious, I've once made a patch for GCC that implements it.  This
was merely intented to be a proof of concept.  Does anyone
incidentally know whether this feature might have already been
proposed (and perhaps put down) to the GCC folks?  If not, do people
feel I should submit that patch?

In case anyone is interested:

(It's IMHO been made against a 3.3 version of GCC, not yet against a
3.4 one.)
