Agreed, these names are really confusing. To me itoa sounds like "integer 
to string" and iota "string to integer" ("to".reverse == "ot").

I can imagine using retro in code such as:

import pacman.PacmanGame;

void main() {
  if (userWants3DVoodoo) {
    // real time 3d rendering with photon mapping and 9.1 192/24 sounds
    (new PacmanGame).start();
  } else {
    // nice 8-bit graphics with mono 4-bit sound
    retro(new PacmanGame).start();
  }
}
