we'd only be able to represent bases for numbers with one digit though because what does base 15+1 mean? the 15 could be in any base higher than 5. the clearest way would probably be to just represent it with lines or something "base ||||||||||"
Base 16 is typically represented with letters being used as the extra numerals, so it would end up being F+1. Problem solved.
what about numbers larger than 16?
We've got base 64, though it doesn't quite follow the convention of starting with digits and following up with letters:

Base /+1 lol
what about numbers after 64? comment OP and i were trying to come up with a universal rule which we did in his response to my first comment
