One thing I always found weird is that timeline IDs appear most
prominently as hex numbers in WAL filenames, but they are printed as
decimal in the log ("new timeline id nn"), and have to be specified as
decimal in recovery_target_timeline.

Perhaps both these could make use of 0xhex numbers as well.
