optional hexadecimal forms for integer types

How about creating a FlexibleNumber class that as a String-arg constructor, 
then in your <linker> task implement a setBase(FlexibleNumber number) method.  
This FlexibleNumber custom class could perform the decimal->hex conversion 
needed.

If you'd like to submit such a custom class we'd likely accept it!  :)

I don't think its generally useful to have this conversion, although it 
probably wouldn't hurt.  I've never seen a request for this before, and with 
the above described work-around I think we have it covered.  I'll leave this as 
an open enhancement though and let others decide.
