  As I said in my other post, there is merit in the C functions: They are
much more efficient than stringstreams.

  So if you are converting a *huge* amount of strings to ints in a tight
loop, you might want to consider the C functions rather than stringstreams.

  In situations where speed has absolutely no relevance stringstreams are
much easier and safer to use.
