Unfortunately, I can. :(

It's also valid to say, for example:

   (gdb) b main t 999
   Unknown thread 999.

or

   (gdb) b main thread -10
   Unknown thread -10.

or indeed

   (gdb) b main thread +10
   Unknown thread 10.

Hex and octal are also allowed, but since they always start with zero, I 
think you have them covered.
