  <para>
   Returns a string containing <parameter>number</parameter>
   represented in base <parameter>tobase</parameter>.  The base in
   which <parameter>number</parameter> is given is specified in
   <parameter>frombase</parameter>.  Both
   <parameter>frombase</parameter> and <parameter>tobase</parameter>
   have to be between 2 and 36, inclusive.  Digits in numbers with a
   base higher than 10 will be represented with the letters a-z,
   with a meaning 10, b meaning 11 and z meaning 35.

  <warning>
   <simpara>
    <function>base_convert</function> may lose precision on large numbers
    due to properties related to the internal "double" or "float" type used.
    Please see the <link linkend="language.types.float">Floating point numbers</link>
    section in the manual for more specific information and limitations.
