How do I encode to a writer in 0.4? #54

There used to be write_hex that encoded straight into Writer, but now it's gone and I'm not sure what's the most idiomatic way to replace it without temporarily allocation.

Uhh yeah since 0.4 hex uses "from-iterator" types for encoding result and thus doesn't support to encode directly to Writer any more :x This "ability" will most surely come back in later versions (cf #37) but for now yeah there's sadly no way without allocating beforehand :(

I'll tag this issue as "bug" or something in order to have it somewhere for the "1.0" milestone
