std.stom
int stom(string notename)

Returns the MIDI note number corresponding to a particular note string. Note strings consist of an upper or lower-case note letter followed optionally by zero or more accidentals ('#' or 'b') and a positive or negative octave number. This function assumes middle C to be C4.

Examples: C4 C#4 A-1 G##-1 and ridiculously C###bb##bbbb#3.

Any error in parsing results in a returned note of '0', designd to be low and safe but still valid for the MIDI spec. Notes generated out of the MIDI note range of 0-127 will be clipped to those two extremes.
