Really? I'm surprised. I assume Guido doesn't do much with 
bitmaps or reading raw data from devices. The lack of a binary 
representation is a real pain. Not hard to code but why should 
I have to?!

And watching a single bit toggling in binary is much easier 
than watching a hex or octal digit changing and mentally 
working out which input line triggered it!
