Is there a built in way to handle conversion of hex values in strings to
integers? Examples of possible syntax if it doesn't exist
 
"0xF0".to_i        # have it handle leading 0x for hex or 0 for octal
 
or
 
"F0".to_i(16)    # pass in the base, assume decimal if no argument.
 
Thanks for the prompt answer to the last one.
