This expands the field from 7 to 8 chars. In running text, this is
alright. In formatted table columns, it is not.

> '-0x0123'
Multiple alternatives
>>> '{: #08x} {: #08x}'.format(0x123, -0x123)
' 0x00123 -0x00123'
>>> '{:+#08x} {:+#08x}'.format(0x123, -0x123)
'+0x00123 -0x00123'
>>> '{0:#0{1}x} {2:+#0{3}x}'.format(0x123, 7, -0x123, 8)
'0x00123 -0x00123'
>>> n1, n2, w = 0x123, -0x123, 7
>>> '{0:#0{1}x} {2:+#0{3}x}'.format(n1, w+(n1<0), n2, w+(n2<0))
'0x00123 -0x00123'
In running text, I ight go with '+','-' prefix.
