Yes, that was my argument for bare minimum support - anyone using QMP
(like libvirt) will have to be smart enough to use key-name only, while
anyone using HMP will be able to use hex because HMP will convert hex to
key-name at the appropriate time before calling into QMP.

Of course, being able to support hex from QMP would be a nice feature,
but I'm not sure how to add it in.
