    After this, maybe it can be considered to switch on ascii printing by
    default (easier to discover that way)
    pk-dump.pk:30: defvar pk_dump_ascii = 1;
    
Yes I agree.

As a side note,  you can customize poke by having commands in your
~/.pokerc file.  This is mine:

----->------------------------------>-------
# My poke configuration - jemarch

.set endian host
.set obase 16
