hexadecimal notation

When creating a color in hex notation, I'm needing to specify:
#FF8800 or 0xFFFF8800, but not 0xFF8800.

It's no big deal accounting for the alpha component, but the reference seems to imply that you should be able to just specify: 0xFF8800:

the reference is incorrect, it should read:

For example, "color(0, 102, 153)" is equivalent to "color(#006699)" and "color(0xFF006699)".

although i wonder if that's how it should be explained, since there isn't really a need to use color() on it when it's a hex color already. i.e.:

color c = #006699;

makes better sense (and is faster than)

color c = color(#006699).

(moving this to the reference bugs area so casey can have a look)
