Hi,

I came across the following quirk that surprised me.

Positive number in a arbitrary radix

16rA = 10

Same number but negative

-16rA = -10

I guess, we all know that.

However, the following is also possible

16r-A = -10

I would not support this one either

I did not know that, but OK.

But what about this one ?

-16r-A = 10

I understand that the double negation is positive again, but do we really want to support such a syntax ?

I would not
