Well, I don't know the reasoning in this case, but I'd like to note that
those are not strictly equivalent. Personally I find the formatting of 0
annoying enough to avoid %#x for any value which may be 0. It's
especially bad if you try to line up things by adding leading zeros.

I would expect these to produce the same result, but they don't:

printf("0x%02hhx\n", 0);
printf("%#04hhx\n", 0);

Ending up with a 4 digit output when you expect 2 is very confusing. It
doesn't matter that 0 is 0 in any case. Why doesn't the same happen to
1 then? This is just inconsistent behaviour, and I see no valid excuse
for it.

IMHO the single format character saved isn't worth this at all. I'll
continue using 0x%x
