String functions for POVray include ways to turn a numerical value into a
string. But is there a function to do the converse, turn a string of digits into
an integer? Of course there is a workaround, use a loop and multiply the value
you have by 10 with each iteration as you examine the string from left to right.
That seems awkward to me. Please tell me I missed something.

My specific task is to write a script that will parse move notation for a board
game and produce an image of the position, possibly animated.

Thanks
