Feature or enhancement

Proposal:

Currently both binascii.hexlify and bytes.hex offer the options to set the separator and the bytes-per-separator.

The inverse functions for both, binascii.unhexlify and bytes.fromhex respectively, do not offer these switches though, and do not ignore non-hexstring [^0-9A-Fa-f] characters either (bytes.fromhex at least ignores whitespace, but only that).

Both should be improved to either ignore any non-hexstring characters, or have the options to set the separator and bytes-per-separator (like the inverse functions), or some other method to enable them to work with any hexstrings that can be generated by their inverse functions.

I am willing to look into this issue and implement either suggested method or something else entirely.

Has this already been discussed elsewhere?
