I think your complaint has merit.  But note that if we did a change like 
this, then log files or reports from different versions would have 
different meaning without a visual difference, which is kind of what you 
complained about in the first place.  At least we should do something 
like 0x%X.

Don't worry about this.  This is handled elsewhere.
