Well, there was a huge discussion in October, see the subject name.
Just didnt want it to go again in that direction.
So in short hex notation not so readable and anyway decimal is
kind of standard way to represent numbers and I treat string as a number array
when I am processing it, so hex simply is redundant and not needed for me.
