My only argument about it is that for a mere user, the wording "the C
preprocessor" might not immediately suggest that such a constant is
thus available throughout all C-like languages (i.e. even beyond the
preprocessing stage). So yet another attempt:
Integer constants written in binary are now supported as a GCC
extension. They consist of a prefix <code>0b</code> or
<code>0B</code>, followed by a sequence of 0 and 1 digits.
(As this goes into the C language group of the website, that part
ought to be understood by the user already.)
