[Python-ideas] Add a builtin method to 'int' for base/radix conversion

[Carl Johnson]

How would it work for bases beyond 10? OK, so base-16 has a well known
encoding, but what about base-100? Base-16 is case insensitive, but
would Base-37 be case insensitive?…

ISTM that the common encodings of bin, oct, and hex are already
covered by built-in functions and for bases beyond that, you have
decide what system to use for encoding symbols that are out of range.
Do people really need trinary through septary that often? Is there a
single, best-practices way of doing base-1013? Feels like YAGNI to me,
but I could be wrong.
