Oh, right, 'X' is not a problem here. Still, I feel that interpreting the string is not really elegant. Preserving hex format makes generated headers nicer to read and that's what midl does. I can see the argument that it's of minor importance in generated files, but to be honest current solution of separated types is easy enough that I don't really see why we need to change it.
