You accept hexadecimal digits in either upper or lower case, but you
don't do the same for "0x" vs. "0X".

Sigh.

if (q[0] == '0' && (q[1] == 'x' || q[1] == 'X')) {
q += minl; l -= minl;

It doesn't make me either happy or unhappy.

There's a rumor floating around that KT was happy. Once.
Sometime back in the mid 60s. Nobody's sure what caused it.
Many don't believe it ever happened.
