Details:

Hello,

I'm using guile 1.8.7 and I see that (number->string 16 35) works (result is
"g") but (string->number "g" 35) returns #f.

In string->number it works from "0" to "f", but higher numbers fail.

The guile docs
http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/manual/html_node/Conversion.html say that
string->number is only available with Radix 2 8 10 16 which is at least
wrong.

I work with radix 7 all the time and it works fine. 

And radix 35 works at least up to "f". After a short test it seems that all
radixes work only up to "f", not only 35.

It would be great if this could be extended or at least can be documented
correctly (that all radices up to 16 work fine and that the limit is indeed
"f")
