Hi,

So for example (10)123 would mean decimal 123? I don't know how we would parse brackets separately from expressions though.
(123)10 would be "123" in decimal. Which is indeed a mouthful. But it would also be generic and (123)16 would be 0x123. So the parsing shouldn't be too hard, for most commands. But then yes, expressions become quite hard.
Come on, guys, be serious! This is a boot loader. Size matters.
Do we _really_ need all this, and is it worth the code size?
Simon's patches include some cleanup, which probably even reduces the size, so good.
But whether it's 0m123 or 0t123 or 0!123 or ... is pretty much irrelevant - chose one symbol, use it, and be done with that.
Best regards,
