No good replacement for hexStripZeros

Describe the Problem

I am migrating from ethers v5 to ethers v6. I used to use hexStripZeros to strip the leading zeros in my hex string, since some json-rpc methods do not accept hex strings with leading zeros. However, I cannot find the equivalent in ethers v6. If it's purposely removed, can you include it in the migration guide? I was using stripLeftZeros blindly for a bit, until I realized it was for BytesLike inputs only.

For example, stripLeftZeros("0x01054ea") will still return "0x01054ea", whereas hexStripZeros() would return "0x1054ea"

For quantity values (which JSON-RPC uses for numeric values), use v6 ethers.toQuantity, which replaces the v5 utils.hexValue. :)

@ricmoo it does feel weird to use on places like this but I suppose it should work ? (For chain IDs)

{
    method: 'wallet_switchEthereumChain',
    params: [{ chainId: toQuantity(chainId) }],
};

Same here, I was using:

 await network.provider.send("hardhat_setStorageAt", [
      address,
      ethers.to utils.hexStripZeros(ethers.utils.hexlify(331)),
      value,
    ]);

But toQuantity doesn't seem to be the fit I need
