Description
Currently if you have defined a number like this for example:
WS_BORDER = 0x00800000
Hovering over WS_BORDER displays:
(global) WS_BORDER : integer = 8388608
Would it be possible to add an option so that numbers that are not defined as decimals are not resolved to decimals when hovering over them? I. e. :
(global) WS_BORDER : integer = 0x00800000
