Perhaps introduce a single function, base(val, radix=10, prefix=''), as
a universal base converter that could replace bin(), hex(), oct(), etc.

That would give us fewer builtins and provide an inverse for all the
int() conversions (i.e. arbitrary bases).  Also, it would allow an
unprefixed output which is what I usually need.
