Review comment (refactor):
we could keep the const here as well (and simplify a few other structures, please see my other comments for details):
```C++
template <unsigned int BITS>
void base_blob<BITS>::SetHex(const std::string_view str)
{
    const auto trimmed = util::RemovePrefixView(util::TrimStringView(str), "0x");
    size_t digits = 0;
    while (digits < trimmed.size() && ::HexDigit(trimmed[digits]) != -1)
        ++digits;
    for (auto it = m_data.begin(); it < m_data.end(); ++it) {
        auto lo = (digits > 0) ? ::HexDigit(trimmed[--digits]) : 0;
        *it = (digits > 0) ? lo | (::HexDigit(trimmed[--digits]) << 4) : lo;
    }
}
```
