Thank you for working on that. I've improved your patch: update the now-shared hex_printf_ rather than making a copy, use a better definition of that function (knowing that "printf %s a b c d e" reuses the format string and prints just 5 bytes helps), also update word-multibyte to work with the new definition, and rewrite the commit log. I'll push after you ACK:
