"NUMBER" is a function word that parses a text number using
<<p_base,BASE>> as numerical base, then returns the result number and
a 1 on top, or just a 0 if the word didn't parse.

A number consists of, first an optional minus sign, if in
<<p_decimal,DECIMAL>> base, then digits 0-9 and, if in <<p_hex,HEX>>
base, letters a-f or A-F for values 10-15. I.e. the normal positive or
negative decimal integers or normal (positive only) hexadecimal
integers.
