    Decimal is ugly when dealing with computers. The linux source must
    have some literals in it, right? I'm assuming that anything over nine
    will be a hex prefixed with "0x". Unless you have bowling scores in
    there, I see no reason for an ugly radix like decimal. Sure it'll
    make no difference in the actual complied code, but it's just like
    good indentation or cleaning up variable names.
