Ok I see.

Sometimes I find my self looking at some IP numbers.

For example let's have a look at this IP number

216.58.208.46

Since there are points between numbers it prints only hexadecimal value of first number.

216 = 0xd8

May be it should be more clever. So that if it is an IP adress, there might be no need to display it in hexadecimal notation.

I don't know whether hexadecimal notation for IP adresses are used frequently but if you convert this number to hex it should be like that :

0xD83AD02E
