I apologize if my post came across as such, that was certainly not the intent.
I think the question was [..] whether there's such a literal or not and whether it is bad idea to have something like 0b10111011.
I agree.
From my point of view, the difference between 0b10111011 and (bin[1,0,1,1,1,0,1,1]) is 22-10 that is 12 characters.
And from my point of view, 0xEE or 0x273 are equally readable, and even more succinct. If you are into bit-twiddling, that is. For user-friendly bitfields you should obviously provide a higher level interface.
So, i would expect only two answers: NO, it is ......., or YES, in version 6.9.0 it is possible. ;-)
As far as I know, there are no such plans. Send in a patch and see if it gets accepted :-) -k -- If I haven't seen further, it is by standing in the footprints of giants
