hex dump when opening binary files

[morenoh149]

I noticed another programmer open a .ico file in sublime and it opened a hex representation of the binary.
Vim can do this too http://vimdoc.sourceforge.net/htmldoc/tips.html#hex-editing any interest in getting this into M-A?

It looks like it needs to be configured per extension? Is there a set of extensions that would be useful to everyone?

I can imagine viewing hex dumps useful when reverse engineering things or solving programming challenges. So I vote

• .exe
• .bin
• .o
• .part
• .jpeg
• .png
• .gif
• .jar
