The basic desire is to be able to manipulate binary data coming out of the
$target pointers. We might make do with new tapset functions like
kernel_hexstring(address,length) and some new parsing/printing operations,
and leave the plain null-terminated strings alone. Even though that would
halve the potential length of the binary data, that's not so bad. Or
maybe permit base64 (more compact but slower to use).
