Yes, but since the routine probably has low utilisation I choose for
structuring all conversion routines all the same.

Moreover I don't think that first attempts should fixate interfaces
and behaviour forever.
 
And let's not beat about the bush: the main reason for the routine is to
show beginning programmers that their homework can be done using a fixed
function :-)
