-- WEIRD NUMBER ----------------------------------------------------------- REPL

I thought I was reading a number, but I ran into some weird stuff here:

3|   0b111
      ^
I recognize numbers in the following formats:

    42
    3.14
    6.022e23
    0x002B

So is there a way to write it like one of those?

• Elm: 0.19.1
• Browser: Firefox
• Operating System: Linux 5.11.4-arch1-1
