Say what happens if STRING cannot successfully be parsed as a number:
the function raises an error.

The doc (e.g. manual) describes the parsing in a fair amount of detail,
and it describes how the result can end up a floating-point number if
the integer value would be too large.  But it says nothing about what
happens if no number can be identified for the string.
