Well, that's the correct explanation.
Whether that feature makes sense or not is debatable. Even I'm
not old-school enough that I ever use octal literals -- and I
used Unix on a PDP-11 for years (actually had my own PDP-11 for
while, but it never worked). Now that I think of it, my
Heathkit Z80 stuff used octal notation too.
