Convert a single digit 
Char to the corresponding 
Int.
This function fails unless its argument satisfies 
isHexDigit,
but recognises both upper- and lower-case hexadecimal digits (that is,
'0'..
'9', 
'a'..
'f',
'A'..
'F').
Examples
Characters 
'0' through 
'9' are converted properly to
0..9:
>>> map digitToInt ['0'..'9']
[0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9]
Both upper- and lower-case 
'A' through 
'F' are
converted as well, to 
10..15.
>>> map digitToInt ['a'..'f']
[10,11,12,13,14,15]
>>> map digitToInt ['A'..'F']
[10,11,12,13,14,15]
Anything else throws an exception:
>>> digitToInt 'G'
*** Exception: Char.digitToInt: not a digit 'G'
>>> digitToInt '♥'
*** Exception: Char.digitToInt: not a digit '\9829'
