Description

In the specification, there exists a type ValueFormat that only includes hex. Can this type be extended so that it also contain other formats? such as binary and octal?

I noticed that there is an open issue that is somehow requesting something similar. https://github.com/microsoft/debug-adapter-protocol/issues/197 , but I haven't seen any replies to it.
