// IMPORTANT MESSAGE FROM YOUR SPONSOR
//
// This file contains no "wstring" variants. New code should use string16. If
// you need to make old code work, use the UTF8 version and convert. Please do
// not add wstring variants.
//
// Please do not add "convenience" functions for converting strings to integers
// that return the value and ignore success/failure. That encourages people to
// write code that doesn't properly handle the error conditions.

//  - No characters parseable as a number at the beginning of the string.
//    |*output| will be set to 0.
