Thank you for that report, Tobi. That clears up my confusion where I was thinking that Benoît was talking only about the IDE
issue working in the development version. Now I understand that he meant both the IDE _and_ the compiler, in the development
version, are working correctly regarding octals.

So, we just need to manually compile from master, or wait for the new version to be rolled out to our respective distro
repositories.
