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.
You are not required to use it. You are always at liberty to write your own manipulators.
I'm not telling that isn't useful (I use it myself from time to time),
Just as many other log library users. Gennadiy
