Many thanks to Steve Wampler and R. Clayton for reminding
me of the radix notion for Icon integers and for explaining why
"3rd" is not an integer while "23rd" is. I have since re-read the
relevant sections in Griswold and Griswold. In retrospect, I
should have suspected something like this since any attempt to
convert normal integers followed by the other two ordinal suffixes
(in English) to integers always failed. In my program, I now
search for and remove all ordinal suffixes very early in the
analysis process.
