Defaulting to a Binary Encoded Decimal is also silly because its not as performant and loses compactness.  Fundamentally.  (Having a composite base comes with problems).  What is your suggestion, having a default floating point have a Binary or hexadecimal representation for literals?  Let&#x27;s say I want to input a planet&#x27;s mass as 6e24 kg - quick what is that in your literals?
