Nicolas Cellier uploaded a new version of Kernel to project The Trunk:
http://source.squeak.org/trunk/Kernel-nice.425.mcz

==================== Summary ====================

Name: Kernel-nice.425
Author: nice
Time: 15 March 2010, 12:18:40.839 am
UUID: 3c10b52e-83ec-404b-9db9-4fcdae5bb28f
Ancestors: Kernel-nice.424

Use Character>>digitValue..
Now that it is fast enough, there is no point in replicating the algorithm.

  NumberParser is an abstract class for parsing and building numbers from string/stream.
  It offers a framework with utility methods and exception handling.
  
  Number syntax is not defined and should be subclassResponsibility.
  
- Note that class variable DigitValues is a duplication of Character class variable. This is only an optimization, decoding digitValues being a major contributor of algorithm cost.
- 
  Instance variables:
  sourceStream <Stream> the stream of characters from which the number is read
  base <Integer> the radix in which to interpret digits
  neg <Boolean> true in case of minus sign
  integerPart <Integer> the integer part of the number
  fractionPart <Integer> the fraction part of the number if any
  exponent <Integer> the exponent used in scientific notation if any
  scale <Integer> the scale used in case of ScaledDecimal number if any
  nDigits <Integer> number of digits read to form an Integer
  lasNonZero <Integer> position of last non zero digit, starting at 1 from left, 0 if all digits are zero
  requestor <TextEditor | nil> can be used to insert an error message in the requestor
  failBlock <BlockClosure> Block to execute whenever an error occurs.
  	The fail block can have 0, 1 or 2 arguments (errorString and source position)
