I don't see any opcodes currently for transforming octal and
hexadecimal strings to their integer equivalents. Should there be?

This seems like a common language feature (at least for Parrot's
target languages). And if there's no opcode, then I have to write the
code in PIR. :-)

Thanks.

Yes. Maybe:

set Ix, Sy, Ibase # Ibase = 2..36

Err, what about providing a patch for parrot?
