It was years ago, so I don't recall much.  I think I wanted to use a
variable name which signifies its role - I worked out the rather
convoluted base number logic on paper first and I probably wanted to
keep the distinctions.  I don't think it really matters at this point
tho.  Just make sure those functions are marked deprecated so that no
one else copies them.

Thanks.
