I understand where it comes from, but here we may use positive condition.

I would expect same base for all numbers.

I just realize that we might need to export type of the node as well.
How can we distinguish string "251" from a number?

sizeof(int) = 4 (32 bits), so, 32 * 3 / 10 ~= 10. On top are "node" and '\0'.
Thus, I would rather put 16 here. Or limit the maximum for ida_simple_get().
