Tim is the only one I can think of, but there may be others.  And I
believe the C standards committee has already rejected one attempt at
adding 0b binary literals, with arguments not unlike Tim's.  So either
Tim is behind that rejection, or there is at least one other person
around who doesn't like them!

(I accept that Tim has valid objections - I just don't think they are as
important as he does, and I don't think they outweigh the benefits of 0b
literals as I see them.)
