I know i am an small ant here, but I must say that IMO, that 
solution is bad Emacs: i strongly disagree with it.
I hardly believe that original Sebastian Kremer intention was
to provide such behaviour.  I am sure he wanted the command
behaves as `dired-mark-files-regexp' does with respect the
optional arg.
Feel free to fix the bug as you wish and push it to the repository.
I don't want to do it myself, because i don't want my name appear in
the git log as the author of that solution.
I am sorry if these words sounds bad.  It's not my intention; it's
good having different opinions.

Andreas meant in his previous e-mail that if the feature requires
that the user input an hexadecimal, then that should appear in the
doc string.
