This doesn't work currently:
to!int("0xFF");

Python's int() function solves this by taking an optional base argument:
http://docs.python.org/library/functions.html#int

So it can be called like:
clr = int("0000FF", 16)

I've seen this used in some functions which convert web colors to an integer.

So std.conv could take an optional base argument or maybe try to parse the
string and figure out if it's hexadecimal (since this is probably the most
commonly used base after base-10).
