+The base value is the output base (radix) expressed as an octal value;
for example, \e10 gives octal and \e20 gives hexadecimal.
The arguments are made up of a sequence of bit identifiers.
-Each bit identifier begins with an integer value which is the number of the
-bit (starting from 1) this identifier describes.
+Each bit identifier begins with an
