OpenAxiom supports the Aldor notation for integer literals with
explicit radix, e.g.

(1) -> 16rf
   (1)  15
                                                        Type: PositiveInteger

In general, you write the radix first (in decimal notation),
immediatelly followed by 'r'
then followed by the digits in the specified radix.
