Interesting that you chose a BSD license instead of GPL, but doesn't
affect my review.

Your test case lacks test of octal or hexadecimal input strings; is that
worth adding?

Interesting that you chose to reject negative numbers, even though
strtoull() is required to accept them.  But you documented it and tested
for it, so I can live with it.
