It was both the extras and the puttin too much on the plate at once :-).

I think having a base52 converter would be just dandy.  It was the
trying to staple integer _and_ binary string encoding in there that
rubbed me the wrong way.  I think just the basic encoding of binary
string -> base52 encoded all-alpha string and the reverse would be just
dandy.
