::: Perhaps representing the octal value as a variable width ascii string (instead of a fixed integer) might be "native octal"? --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] 21:27, 6 June 2011 (UTC)
:: I'd have to agree that native octal doesn't make much sense. All math routines work in binary, or otherwise operate very similarly regardless of base. Only input and output are different, so if the goal is to demonstrate octal manipulation, IO would be a better task. That's covered by other tasks though.
