3058,Add a 'hex' function to the pretty printing,TomMD,,"Attached is a patch for Text.PrettyPrint.HughesPJ that adds a 'hex' function to print hexidecimal numbers.

The only point that I exepect to be contended is it varies slightly from the surrounding functions in that it allows one to control the number of characters printed (see below).

> hex 5 31
0001f
> hex 2 8
08
> hex 3 7495
d47

While we can argue about the consistancy issues, I almost always want to control the number of digits when I'm dealing with hex.  Hence I feel this is a reasonable special case.",proposal,closed,normal,Not GHC,libraries/base,,wontfix,"pretty, prettyprint, library",,Unknown/Multiple,Unknown/Multiple,None/Unknown,Unknown,,,,
