Longer names preferable. It was quite a long way into the original thread before I understood what "atol" meant - my brain kept wanting it to be related to the atoi family of functions from C (ASCII to Integer (atoi), ASCII to Long (atol), etc, converting strings to integers).
Same thing here, I think "atol" is too cryptic.
Agreed, it would take some work to train myself not to see "ASCII string to long integer" whenever I see "atol"...
