Ping. This patch
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2022-December/144235.html>,
and the scanf followup
<https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libc-alpha/2022-December/144250.html>,
are pending review.
I'll note for completeness that AFNOR comment FR-228 on the C2x CD
expresses concern about the semantic change (see section 16 in N3072).
Given that accepting 0b and 0B for base 2 strtol was an explicit change in
a paper accepted by WG14 with no votes against (and I think I mentioned
the consequences for strtol base 0 and scanf %i when binary constants were
added), I don't think that comment is particularly likely to result in any
changes to the working draft (and likewise for the point in the AFNOR
comment about strtol not accepting digit separators - that was also an
explicit change in the paper adding digit separators), but if it does
result in any changes at the ballot resolution meeting (23-27 January)
there would still be time to revert these changes before glibc 2.37 is
released.
