+Output hexadecimal numbers in the standard C format, for example `tt(0xFF)'
+instead of the usual `tt(16#FF)'.  If the option tt(OCTAL_ZEROES) is also
+set (it is not by default), octal numbers will be treated similarly and
+hence appear as `tt(077)' instead of `tt(8#77)'.  This option has no effect
+on the choice of the output base, nor on the output of bases other than
+hexadecimal and octal.  Note that these formats will be understood on input
+irrespective of the setting of tt(C_BASES).
