Request: Preserve Hexadecimal, Octal, and Binary Literals as-is in Tooltip Documentation

[EurFelux]

When providing documentation for methods, Pylance displays octal literals in decimal form. Take the pathlib.Path.touch method as an example. Following the convention of chmod, a three-digit octal number should be entered to represent file access permissions, and the mode parameter of the touch method also follows this rule. So I was very confused when I saw that the default value of the mode parameter was 438.

I also verified the hexadecimal and binary cases and found that the behavior is consistent.

In fact, there is usually a good reason for specifying parameter defaults using non-decimal literals—for instance, because such forms are easier to understand. I think it would be helpful if Pylance could display default values that are given in forms like 0o, 0x, or 0b exactly as they are, rather than converting them into decimal.
