Comment (by jinmei):

 Replying to [comment:4 jelte]:

 > Note: I wasn't really sure whether we want or need to support octal
 representations, so I wrote it so that the state class could in theory
 handle it (but uses base 10 only now). Things that turn out not to look
 like an unsigned integer end up being interpreted as strings.

 Ah, sorry for not being specific.  We don't need it, at least not at
 the moment.  The only usage of octal numbers in the BIND 9 version is
 to parse A/CH RDATA, which we don't support yet (and, even if and when
 we fully support it, I'm not sure if it makes sense to handle it
 within the generic lexer if that's the only use case).
