POSIX says the token numbers are decimal, so parsing them as octal
would not conform to POSIX. Hexadecimal (with leading 0x) would be a
conforming extension.
Does anybody still use octal these days? If so, Bison could support
them with a leading 0o, say. I doubt whether it's worth the hassle,
though.
