digit-char-p char &optional radix    weight

Arguments and Values:
char - a character.

radix - a radix. The default is 10.

weight - either a non-negative integer less than radix, or false.

Examples:
 (digit-char-p #\5)     5
 (digit-char-p #\5 2)   false
 (digit-char-p #\A)     false
 (digit-char-p #\a)     false
 (digit-char-p #\A 11)  10
 (digit-char-p #\a 11)  10
 (mapcar #'(lambda (radix) 
             (map 'list #'(lambda (x) (digit-char-p x radix)) 
                  "059AaFGZ"))
         '(2 8 10 16 36))
