Some of the questions that remain: 1. Whether this should be a method for int or a regular function in a standard library module like math. 2. What should the method/function be called? (base_convert, radix, etc)

What do you guys think? The format mini-language already has presentation types for binary, octal, dec and hex outputs. Maybe this could be expanded in some way to get arbitrary base output (between 2 and 36 to match int())
