ToddAndMargo might save some time by asking "Is this a problem someone else might have solved, and if so, how?" before plunging ahead and coding. From this and previous postings, it looks as though the answer might frequently start with "Yes", and would save a lot of redundant effort.

:S let's please not. See also this discussion: https://irclog.perlgeek.de/perl6/2017-09-25#i_15211785 I'm strongly against making .base return garbage for bases >36. Polymod returns a list of integers, .base returns a *string* with the number using some alphabet. I don't understand why we want to
