possible bug in std.conv.parse

[ketmar via Digitalmars-d]

ah, i see:  if (radix == 10) return parse!Target(s); in Target 
parse(Target, Source)(ref Source s, uint radix)

it cheating a little and using 'general' decimal number parser, 
which accepts '+' and '-'. for other bases it uses another code 
though, where '+' and '-' threats as digits, which leads to error.

i think that it should either not accept sign in any radix, or 
accept always (given the resulting type is signed, of course). 
the later is much more logical if you'll ask me.
