If we are going to change all that, hexa style sounds good to me too. Would it be worth an addition to the docs, say in [1] to tell that this is a preferred style?
In my view the bit shifting approach makes it more obvious a single bit is being set, but on the other hand the hex approach makes it easier to compare in debugging.
I’m not really sure which to prefer, though I think I would have leaned slightly towards the former.
