Hi eliot
I was going over some changes and I noticed that in squeak
20 hex
16r41
$A hex
'41'
in pharo we have
hex that always returns 16rXX
$A hex '16r41'
20 hex '16r14'
Even if this is regular this is not really nice. In fact this ones should be
fixed to return numbers and not strings.
I do not understand why hex should return a string.
And how? Integer >> #hex would be ^self and Character >> #hex would be
^value ?

and in pharo
printStringHex the XX part only
$A printStringHex
'41'
20 printStringHex
'14'
Here this is a string since the name says it.
In VW there is asHexString which is nice too.
So could we agree on that and get a system that is nicer and more consistent.
