Re: choose radix for control and non displayable characters

No need to make the C code more complex:

   (let ((n 128))
     (while (< n 256)
       (aset buffer-display-table n (format "\\x%2x" n))
       (setq n (1+ n))))


Let's not forget that chars in the 128-255 range should only ever appear in
buffers containing binary data (and otherwise in cases where there was
a problem, such as when an email is badly labelled).
