The docs need to be updated to indicate what exceptions a function
will generate.  Actually, integer currently does not even generate
ParseError.  It generates SyntaxError, which is a subclass of
ParseError.  I recommended ParseError instead of SyntaxError because
it seems to me that it ought to generate something like
ConversionError (which does not currently exist), which could be a
subclass of ParseError.
