:mrdocs:

Determine whether the specified `character` represents a digit in the specified `base`; return the numeric equivalent if so, and ‐1 otherwise. The behavior is undefined if either `character` or `base` is 0 and unless `2 <= base` and `base <= 36` (i.e., bases where digits are representable by characters in the range [`0`‐`9`], [`a`‐`z`], or [`A`‐`Z`]).
