It's a mapping from each hex digit to a nibble (8 + 4 + 2 + 1). As a pattern this is used to store/pass binary flags (as options) in an unsigned int.

Sure, that's trivial, but I often have to add two or more 32-bit or even 64-bit hexadecimal values, and I really don't want to use paper and pencil, or fire up a program on a PC. Having a 16C at hand is MUCH more convenient.
