Having searched the issues, I believe this has not been dealt with before.
Since CoffeeScript clearly took inspiration from Ruby, I wonder what the rationale is behind leaving out support for binary literals (where, say, 0b100 is like 0x04, as is the case in Ruby, Python, and in a different way Erlang).
At any rate, because of a bit-bashing project I am working on (AVR disassembler) in CoffeeScript, I have come to miss this quite a bit, so I implemented it in my fork.
