#### Arguments and Values::

radix—a radix. The default is `10`.

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

     (digit-char-p #\5)    ⇒  5
     (digit-char-p #\5 2)  ⇒  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))
