Hello,
Have you ever tried the function in object?
For negative integers it returns strange integers:
(1) -> parse_integer("-4")$ScanningUtilities
(1) - 26
Type: Integer
(2) -> parse_integer("4")$ScanningUtilities
(2) 4
Type: Integer
Apparently it is only used with 'ScanArabic' in outform.spad so it
does not have a lot of consequences. Grepping src/algebra:
src/algebra/outform.spad: ScanArabic s ==
qcoerce(parse_integer(s)$ScanningUtilities)
By the way, there exists the Lisp function parse-integer, although not
very satisfactory in the FriCAS sense.
It may not be what I have thought also.
