Is there a standard way to parse hex strings into numbers?

I have the following returned as a string:

    0xffffffffac036f90

Is there a standard way to parse this into a ulong or do you just roll your own?

To accepts a radix parameter. You need to strip off the 0x though.

"ffffffffac036f90".to!ulong(16) -> 18446744072300490640
