Good day.

IIRC bash used to allow numeric constants of the
BASE#DIGITS form even if the DIGITS part was empty.
IOW: not only "64#0", but "64#" too was accepted
as a valid zero constant.

This no longer works in 5.2.15, probably better than
former behavior, "64#" looked quite confusing.

However, a somewhat similar situation with hex prefix,
0xDIGITS, still allows just "0x" as a valid zero constant.

Not sure whether this should be considered a bug,
and whether it's worth fixing - just letting you know.
