Just two remarks from a non native english guy:
1) "digit" is also used with different semantic in #digitLength #digitAt: #digitAt:put: and thus a method comment is more than welcome!
yeap!
2) there is already a SmallInteger>>#decimalDigitLength doing what you want. However, since SmallInteger>>#numberOfDigitsInBase: is sending #decimalDigitLength , implementing : Integer>>#decimalDigitLength ^self numberOfDigitsInBase: 10 is possible but a little troubling (inverted send logic in superclass and subclass). Also, you'd better not remove SmallInteger>>#decimalDigitLength because avoiding quo: it is very efficient for most common cases. So maybe adding a third message numberOfDigits is the best way... I let you judge by yourself. (Bad luck, I just come back from Greece, and if you ask an oracle, answer is rarely yes or no).
