I just took a quick look at the DRs for C90, C99, and C11 (searching for
"binary", "0b", and "base"), and I didn't see any such proposal.
The DRs can be seen at:
C90: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/dr.htm
C99: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/summary-c99.htm
C11: http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg14/www/docs/summary.htm
