@Raspberryfloof@KitRedgrave probably if i really seriously wanted to do this i'd introduce * as a digit separator, and maybe a :prefix as a shorthand to replace digit separators numbers aren't divisible by the tenth power of any prime
with that i'd probably special case the multiplicative inverse as 1 and say that powers of the smallest prime must be written with : notation
0, 1, :1, :10 or 1*0, :2, :100 or 1*0*0, :11 or 1*1, :1000 or 1*0*0*0, :3, and so on
