I would add a comment that there is another possibility, i.e. big-endian, but
it occupies less space.

I guess above loop can be still optimized, but I have to think about it.

This comment misleading. What you are subtracting is a room for closing
parenthesis and NUL.

I would go with one line here.

The (theoretical) problem is here that the case when buffer size is not enough
to print a value will be like '(0xabc)' but should be rather '(0xabcd' like
snprintf() does in general.
