I suggest you check again; I don't see any where a leading 0 does NOT
lead to interpreting a number as octal  Here are a few common scripting
languages (just what I have installed):

$ python -c 'print(010 + 1)'
9
$ bash -c 'echo $((010 + 1))'
9
$ perl -le 'print 010 + 1'
9
$ ruby -e 'puts 010 + 1'
9
$ d8 -e 'print(010 + 1)'
9
