And now for the complicated one! (In fact, this is probably the most complex
vote result we've seen.)

• TIP #472: Add Support for 0d Radix Prefix to Integer Literals

  For: AF, BG, DKF (in 8.7)
  Present: JN with %d, SL with %d, KBK with %d
  Against: DKF (in 8.6), DGP (in 8.6)

I think there's a reasonable consensus for putting this into 8.7, but not
into 8.6 — i.e., there's not sufficient votes to go into 8.6 with at least
some configuratinos — and if it is going to 8.7 then it can have the changes
to %#d be done as part of it (as we'll have time to warn people and debug
any weird issues that come up). I've heard that Jan's suggestions for
improving the handling of %#d (and related) magic in general are a good
thing.

Agreed, I'll formulate my suggestion in a new TIP (taking Kevin's %od
in consideration as well), there's still time for that. Current implementation
merged to trunk now (open for widespread testing!).

Another thing to be done is in test-cases. I would expect that
the test outcome for format is independent on longIs32bit/longIs64bit,
but the test outcome shows something different:
   <http://core.tcl.tk/tcl/artifact?ln=81-98&name=96269eab4cf851cf>
The longIs32bit output looks correct, but the lingIs64bit output
is truncated. I guess there's a bug hidden somewhere. Brian?

I'll take a look.
