Datomic Console parse query contains hex string error, e.g.

```clojure
[:find ?e
 :where
 [?e :movie/title "0x1"]
]

```

will be parse to:

```clojure
[:find ?e
 :where
 [?e :movie/title 1]
]

```

But the expected result is keep it as string `"0x1"`.

Thank you for the detailed report. This is a bug within console specifically. I have logged the issue and we will look at addressing in a future release of console.
