we have three proposals here:

that would be fine with me, in any case.
I like ${hex:<hex>}, because it looks like a function and we can use the
same syntax for other string expansions, too.
I think it only looks like a function to you because you're used to
exim.conf :-) if you know of other languages where functions looks like
this, I'm interested in hearing about it.
if we want a syntax well known from other languages, we could do
$(hex <hex> <hex>)
this has a strong similarity to POSIX shell.
which of ${, $[ or $( we use is not important to me.
