For example, in some cases I do not want to print non-ascii characters in hex dump, in others I do. ? How does a hex dump contain anything other than hex digits and space (to separate bytes). You might want a way of controlling whether to use upper or lower case letters (but I wouldn't bother).
In my case I follow format presented by some text editors I am used to. It includes both hex and actual data on the right. But I wouldn't insist that much on this particular one. It's ok, but only in some cases. For example, less sophisticated editors go crazy, when trying to display non-ascii characters. And when output contains new line symbols and zeroes the log becomes a mess. I'm not telling that isn't useful (I use it myself from time to time), just telling that IMHO simple solution isn't enouth (for generic
