<P>[Applied to WP at the February, 2014 meeting.]</P>



<P>Table 6 of 5.13.2 [<A href="https://wg21.link/lex.icon#2">lex.icon</A>] paragraph 2 covers only
decimal, octal, and hexadecimal literals.  Binary literals should
be treated like the latter two.  (It would also be more consistent
to refer to these as &#8220;literals&#8221; instead of
&#8220;constants.&#8221;)</P>

<P><B>Proposed resolution (September, 2013):</B></P>

<P>Change the caption and header row of Table 6 in
5.13.2 [<A href="https://wg21.link/lex.icon#2">lex.icon</A>] paragraph 2 as follows:</P>

<P><TABLE WIDTH="100%"><TR><TD ALIGN="CENTER"><B>Table 6 &#8212; Types of integer <DEL>constants</DEL> <INS>literals</INS></B></TD></TR></TABLE></P>

<P><TABLE WIDTH="100%" BORDER="1"><TR>
