"I think Python now has hex, octal and binary literals. X allows any
base from 2 to 16: 2x10101 is binary, while 4x101 is quaternary (ie.
20)."

Do you mean that 4x101 means 1*(4*4) + 0*(4) + 1? If so, it would be
17, not 20. Is this a typo in the document, or am I misunderstanding
your syntax?

#14 and #15: Are you assuming that a character is a byte and that
diacritical-free English is the only language in the world? Case
insensitivity is a *pain* when you try to be language-agnostic; for
instance, the case-folding rules of English state that U+0069 LATIN
SMALL LETTER I and U+0049 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I are identical, but
Turkish would upper-case the first to U+0130 LATIN CAPITAL LETTER I
WITH DOT ABOVE and lower-case the second to U+0131 LATIN SMALL LETTER
DOTLESS I. German has U+00DF LATIN SMALL LETTER SHARP S (also called
eszett), which traditionally upper-cases to "SS", which lower-cases to
"ss".
