Generally yes, but depends how...

A simple integer could (in the hint) be shown in dec and hex. (the hint 
has plenty of space for an integer.)
But in other windows that may not be wanted. The column of the watch 
window has less space, so showing both (without the user requesting) may 
be too much.

The hint is interactive, so there could be options added to the hint, 
and the hint could remember (based on type, type and name, or 
type/name/context).

That is if someone wants to implement it.
