Re: Phix value() function

I'm confused: are you saying value() does accept &b and &h?

Just because 1_000_000_000 is easier to read than 100000000, and in some senses easier to type (and partly because it don't allow/support 1,000,000,000).
Did you spot the deliberate typo I did there?

Quite right, that was a silly bug, I'd even left myself a "this don't look right" comment just before that line, presumably while too busy to test/fix it, which I now have:

                -- allow eg 65'A' to be the same as 65: 
--DEV could probably do with some more bounds checking here (spotted in passing) 
--              if scan_ch='\'' and s[sidx]=N and s[sidx+2]='\'' then 
                if scan_ch='\'' and scan_ch2=N and sidx<length(s) and s[sidx+1]='\'' then 

Of course, I have no problem at all with that, especially "as-is".
I added a little "Don't panic" remark against that overly dramatic threat.
