I don't wish start another flames war, but:

johnpf in
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=6441

Reports (again) about SmallInteger hex not understood
About a year, I complain about this

In mantis exist a elaborate solution by Boris Gaertner
http://bugs.squeak.org/view.php?id=987

The last note claim what was incorporated to 3.9.

But today I see what not all is in 3.10.

The solution what johnpf put in Mantis is

Integer>>hex
   ^self printStringBase: 16

What is what once WAS in image.

I plan to take this for end the subject, wish any what have some against
this solution said now.
