What would you call an even newer variant when you need to add one? strtol_i_updated_twice? To readers who are reading the code in 6 months, it is totally uninteresting that strtol_i() is an older function and the new thing was invented later as its update. What they want to learn is how these two are different, what additional things this new one lets them do compared to the old one, namely: we can optionally learn where the run of the digits has ended. Perhaps call it "strtoi_with_tail" or something, unless others suggest even better names? Thanks.
