Comment (by nigels.com@…):

 Hi Marhsall - my specific task was to convert binary hash to a hex string
 matching the output of sha256sum.  It made me sad to have to write that
 manually, rather than use boost::algorithm::hex()  A hex_lower()
 alternative, perhaps?  I'd point out that hex_char_to_int already supports
 lower case.
