They require very little processing and only in the compiler.

Keep in mind that hex strings use case is not for string data. It is a 
method of getting a whole load of raw bytes directly into the binary 
which can be cast to the appropriate type before usage (i.e. struct).

The direct comparison is to array literal syntax ``[123, 14, 72]`` for 
which you still have the comma, which adds extra processing to the editor...
