I would not recommend this, because symbols stick around forever and Pd 
gets slower the more symbols there are.  AKA "symbol table pollution".

Instead, better to use [mod 10] to get the least significant digit, and 
[div 10] to get the most significant digits (then repeat until you have 
all the digits).  This approach also works for bases other than 10.
