  # NAME
  
  Slang::NumberBase - provide number base literals
  
  # SYNOPSIS
  
  ```
  use Slang::NumberBase;
  
  say ₈123.45;   # 173.346315
  say ₃₆123.45;  # 3F.G77777
  
  ```
  
  # DESCRIPTION
  
  The `Slang::NumberBase` distribution provides a slang that will interprete literal numeric values that start with subscripted digits ("₀₁₂₃₄₅₆₇₈₉") as the number base in which the numeric value should be expressed.
  
  So in effect "₈123.45" is short for "123.45.base(8)".
  
  Note that only number bases 2..36 are currently supported, as these are the values that are supported by the [`base`](https://docs.raku.org/routine/base) method.
