Another thing I am finding strange is the completely different naming for string->unsigned int and string->signed int conversion functions. Different function name, different parameter name (radix/base). I believe they should rather follow the same naming scheme: ScanInt and ScanUInt.

unsigned      stou(const char *ptr, void *endptr = NULL, unsigned base = 10);
unsigned      stou(const byte *ptr, void *endptr = NULL, unsigned base = 10);
unsigned      stou(const wchar *ptr, void *endptr = NULL, unsigned base = 10);
int           ScanInt(const char *ptr, const char **endptr = NULL, int radix = 10);
int           ScanInt(const wchar *ptr, const wchar **endptr = NULL, int radix = 10);
