Exactly. It is up to the lexical representation itself to provide
information such as the base used in the representation. Such
distinctions which are only relevant to representation should not
be tied to the identity of the data type itself. "Hexidecimal encoded
integer" is not a data type.
Please see my recent posting providing examples of this using Scheme
representations.
Cheers,
Patrick
