I'm puzzled by the description of this function which says that the base
may vary from 2..36 and -2..-36, but then goes on to describe the
allowed chars in the string for bases 37..62.
Also, I see that you use the same odd rules as does GMP for different
bases. That is,
Bases Allowed in String
---------------------------------
2..36 0..9a..z
37..62 0..9A..Za..z
-2..-36 0..9A..Z
-37..-62 unspecified
Can anyone explain why not use one sequence for all bases (other than
that's the way GMP did it)? If the latter explanation, does anyone know
why GMP did it that way?
