Is there a way to provide the "unknown string" for the val_to_str call

There are many proto_tree_add_[u]int_format[_value] calls that are done
strictly to provided an "unknown string" for the val_to_str that is
different than the default of "Unknown". If there was such a way, many
of these calls could be converted to proto_tree_add_item or
proto_tree_add_[u]int.
If there isn't such a thing, how easy/hard would it be to implement?
Would most if not all of those be satisfied by changing the current
"Unknown" string to "Unknown %d" or "Unknown 0x%x" (depending on the
hf's BASE_)?
Should we be doing that by default anyway?
(That would mean we'd end up using a lot more ep_ memory for the
formatted string, but I'm not sure that's so bad.)
Another way I've seen this done is to append (proto_item_append_text())
the (custom) "unknown string" after the item is added.
