There's seems to be some agreement in TC39 that the uppercase forms of radial prefixes are undesirable in general, despite the longstanding existence of `0Xffc`...

Since CoffeeScript has no such obligation to JavaScript backwards-compatible syntax, should we simply remove uppercase radix prefixes from the language, only leaving: `0b...`, `0o...` and `0x...` ?
