 +======Synopsis:======
 +$__tobase__(<base> <number>)
 +
 +======Technical:======
 +   * <base> is a number from 2 to 36.
 +   * <number> is a base 10 number.
 +   * If <base> or <number> are omitted, the empty string is returned.
 +   * If <base> is not from 2 to 36, the empty string is returned.
 +   * If <number> is not a number, 0 is returned.
 +   * Otherwise, the return value is <number> converted to base <base>.
 +   * Remember that <number> has to fit into a (long) variable type.
 +
 +======Practical:======
 +This is useful to convert a decimal number to  binary, octal, or hex.
 +
 +======Returns:======
 +The <number> of base 10 converted to the given <base>.
 +The empty string if argument is omitted.
 +0 if the conversion was unsucessful.
 +
 +======Examples:======
 +$strtol(16 180099407) returns ABC194F.
 +
 +======History:======
