> Better to just build-out bin() and be done with it. Ok, someone has to take a decision anyway. However, if you do that, it should be probably decided first what happens for hex() and oct(). Do they still disallow floats (which is semantically reasonable but makes things slightly inconsistent)? Or are they also changed in order to return the same kind of things as bin() does (which would probably give awful results)?

Ok, someone has to take a decision anyway.

However, if you do that, it should be probably decided first what
happens for hex() and oct(). Do they still disallow floats (which is
semantically reasonable but makes things slightly inconsistent)? Or are
they also changed in order to return the same kind of things as bin()
does (which would probably give awful results)?
