Answer 1

If you are using Squeak or Pharo, learn to use the "Message Finder".

Left click on the background, click Tools > Message Finder. Click on the top left pane. Type:

'12345'. 12345.

Hit Control-S and you have your answer. Specifically, you have three answers: asInteger, asNumber and initialIntegerOrNil.
