argument to its binary (base 2) representation. The argument must be an
exact number. Note that the \texttt{\#b} numeric prefix is not
produced in the output.
\item[\texttt{"\~{}o"}] is similar to \texttt{"\~{}b"} except that
the number is printed in octal (base 8).
\item[\texttt{"\~{}x"}] is similar to \texttt{"\~{}b"} except that

\item[\texttt{"\~{}\~{}"}] instructs the formatter to place a tilde
character, \texttt{\~{}}, in the output without consuming an
