WISH: FORM binary! should use ENBASE/BASE 16 #62

Open rebolek opened 4 years ago

rebolek commented 4 years ago

form help text says:

Returns a user-friendly string representation of a value.

However form on binary! returns molded string:

>> form #{deadcafe}
== "#{DEADCAFE}"

If you want to have user-friendly representation, you need to use enbase/base 16:

>> enbase/base #{deadcafe}
== "DEADCAFE"

It would be nice if form switched to this form (pun intended).
