Notably it adds support for arbitrary-precision integers.
- Supports raw strings using back-ticks. <code>\`\\(1234)\u1234\`</code> results in the string `"\\(1234)\\u1234"`.
- Supports hexadecimal `0xab`, octal `0o77` and binary `0b101` integer literals. Also support grouping using underscore `0xaa_bb_cc_dd`.
- Try include using a ending question mark `include "file?";` that doesn't fail if file is missing or has errors.

When decoding something, using `decode` or `mp3` etc, you a decode value is returned. They behave like
