Syntactic sugar poll

	I for one would like the 0xN syntax, maybe just for the sake of
old assembly tradition. On the other hand I'm very happy that Erlang keeps
the needed features and (usually) drops what is superfluous (so we have
.erl instead of .perl, you know); thus I would understand it if people
felt this sugar unnecessary.
