          public static boolean isDigit(char c)

      Returns true if the specified character is a base-10 digit.

    - #### isOctalDigit

          public static boolean isOctalDigit(char c)

      Returns true if the specific character is a base-8 digit.

    - #### isHexDigit

          public static boolean isHexDigit(char c)

      Returns true if the specified character is a base-16 digit.

    - #### isNumericTypeSpecifier

          public static boolean isNumericTypeSpecifier(char c,
                                                       boolean isDecimal)

      Returns true if the specified character is a valid type specifier for a numeric value.

    - #### parseInteger

          @Deprecated
          public static java.lang.Number parseInteger(java.lang.String text)

      Deprecated.
      Builds a Number from the given integer descriptor. Creates the narrowest type possible, or a specific type, if specified.
      Parameters:
        `text` - literal text to parse
      Returns:
        instantiated Number object
      Throws:
        `java.lang.NumberFormatException` - if the number does not fit within the type requested by the type specifier suffix (invalid numbers don't make it here)

    - #### parseInteger

          public static java.lang.Number parseInteger(AST reportNode,
                                                      java.lang.String text)

      Builds a Number from the given integer descriptor. Creates the narrowest type possible, or a specific type, if specified.
      Parameters:
        `reportNode` - at node for error reporting in the parser
        `text` - literal text to parse
      Returns:
        instantiated Number object
      Throws:
        `java.lang.NumberFormatException` - if the number does not fit within the type requested by the type specifier suffix (invalid numbers don't make it here)

    - #### parseDecimal

          public static java.lang.Number parseDecimal(java.lang.String text)

      Builds a Number from the given decimal descriptor. Uses BigDecimal, unless, Double or Float is requested.
      Parameters:
        `text` - literal text to parse
      Returns:
        instantiated Number object
      Throws:
        `java.lang.NumberFormatException` - if the number does not fit within the type requested by the type specifier suffix (invalid numbers don't make it here)
