What do you need the 9 for? Just mark your projects in base 9 or base
8 (octal). By convention, adding a leading 0 denotes a base 8 number.

That's an O, not a 0. ;-)

BTW, some conventions use a leading zero to mean hexadecimal (no octal
option).


While the O may still be correct, many of the programming languages I'm
familiar with use 0. http://www.cplusplus.com/doc/hex/

Hex is usually denoted by 0x. (Sometimes a trailing h is used, but that
seems to be falling out of favor.)
Binary patterns usually are 0b.
