It's an implementation detail of PEP 3127 (oct() and bin()), which is on
the spreadsheet. I guess I'll have to work on oct() and bin() first.
The spreadsheet notes a possible __future__ statement requirement for
oct(). The PEP doesn't mention this, and I'm not sure I understand the
issue. Any clues?
