It's an implementation detail of PEP 3127 (oct() and bin()), which is on 
the spreadsheet.  I guess I'll have to work on oct() and bin() first.

The spreadsheet notes a possible __future__ statement requirement for 
oct().  The PEP doesn't mention this, and I'm not sure I understand the 
issue.  Any clues?
