That might not be practical: the only method that supports non decimal form is the new `ofBSDLiteral`. But any other method only support decimal notation. These include URL/URI, permissions, InetSocketAdderess, InetAddress, Socket/DatagramSocket constructors, etc... Building a comprehensive list would be both unpractical and difficult.
