[xwiki-users] Where's the right parseInt?

I've recycled some code from the tutorials and snippets in my own code, and in particular I've used the following in some velocity scripts: #set($offset = $util.parseInt($request.get('offset'))) which yields the following warning in the log: WARN o.x.v.i.DefaultVelocityEngine - Deprecated usage of method [com.xpn.xwiki.api.Util.parseInt] in 40:xwiki:DemoSpace.DemoPage@4,29 I notice in http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/FAQ/WhyDoIHaveDeprecatedUsageOfMethodXXX... that a very similar warning is mentioned, but in the answer the recomendation is to switch from $xwiki.parseInt to $util.parseInt. But it looks like this has also been deprecated. So what should we be using instead?
