You are preaching to the choir. We have no idea why the DART developers chose
to display them in hexadecimal but it caused us a great deal of extra work
before we added the option.

Yup, I've always misspelled that word for some reason.

I was trying to avoid making it global but I agree that it makes good sense to
do so.  Yes, we do need to access sid_display_hex from some of our proprietary
plugins. I'll update them to use the global as well.

That was unintentional. Good catch. 

I'll upload the updated patch.  Thanks as always, for your feedback.
