but probably it would be nice to hear somebody else's opinion on this (at least from those who are not entirely bored of this thread)
Not an opinion,but an alternative proposal would be to use something non-numeric instead of 0x, like "$" for example.
looking into kernighan-ritchie it says (if i read the c-syntax-graph correctly) that the function-name is an identifier which in turn has to match the regular expression "[_A-Za-z]{[_A-Za-z0-9]}*" (transcription to regex done by me, so it might be erroneous)
it doesn't say anything about non-alphanumeric characters (except for the underscore), so i am a bit afraid of that.
Well, a bad example then, what about "x0" instead of "0x", or whatever doesnt start as a numeric value.
