math.parser has too big an impact on deploy image size. Parsing numbers (or integers at least) isn't something you should have to avoid or hack around. We should investigate reducing its deployed footprint—its main capabilities (parsing Factor number syntax with commas, and bignums) aren't important for many applications, which could just as easily use `strtol` from libc.
