If you read carefully I am just quoting R. Wessel. It was him that said 
that. Anyway, it is not so important, I will add your reaction to the 
document.

Further down in your message, you say:

"Another problem with the base specification is that there is no
standard function to output numbers with an arbitrary base!"

I'm a little confused by that comment - there is such a function, and
it's name is strtoll(), and you're implementing it.

Well it is a confusion about what is "input" and "output". For me, 
strtoll input a character string into the computer and translate that 
into a binary number.
lltostr and ulltostr would output a number from the internal binary form 
into an external, character base form.
