Theres a UIntToStr in delphi to let you display UINT64 values, but where is StrToUInt to allow user to input 64 bit unsigned values?

I want to convert a large 64 bit value from decimal or hex string to 64 bit UINT64 data type. There is a UIntToStr to help converting the UINT64 to string, but no way to convert a 64 bit integer to a unsigned value, as a string. That means integer values greater than 2**63 can not be represented in decimal or hex, using the RTL. This is normally not a big deal, but it can happen that a user needs to input a value, as an unsigned integer, which must be stored into the registry as a 64 bit unsigned integer value.

procedure HandleLargeHexValue;

var
 x:UINT64;
begin

  x := $FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFE;

  try
  x := StrToInt('$FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF'); // range error.
  except
    x := $FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFD;
  end;

  Caption := UintToStr(x);

end;

Update Val now works fine in Delphi XE4 and up. In XE3 and below Val('$FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF') works but not Val('9223372036854775899'). As Roeland points out below in Quality Central 108740: System.Val had problems with big UInt64 values in decimal until Delphi XE4.
