But it is willy-nilly global.
Python:
>>> 4+5
9
>>>
Unix bc:
$ bc
bc 1.06.95

IOW bc has two (global) variables ibase and obase for input and output base.
If you dont provide these as settable you hardwire them at 10 (8/16 in some
assembly languages)¹
Hopefully you will agree that python is more full-featured than bc and should
subsume bc functionality?
[Implementability is a second question and ease of implementability a third]
I believe numeral-language is similar
---
¹ When Ive played around with writing assemblers for toy machines, the hardwired
10-base has often been a nuisance. Of course one can in principle rebuild an REPL.
Repurposing the existing one is usually a far more palatable option (for me).
