+======Synopsis:======
+$__strtol__(<base> <number>)
+======Technical:======
+   * <base> is a number, either 0, or 2 to 36.
+   * <number> is a valid number in the given <base>.
+   * If <base> or <number> are omitted, the empty string is returned.
+   * If <base> is not 0 or 2 to 36, the empty string is returned.
+   * If <number> is not valid for <base>, 0 is returned.
+   * Otherwise, the return value is <number> converted to base 10.
+   * Remember that <number> has to fit into a (long) variable type.
+======Practical:======
+This is useful to convert binary, octal, or hex numbers to decimal.
+======Returns:======
+The <number> of the given <base>, converted to base 10.
+The empty string if argument is omitted.
+if the conversion was unsucessful.
