Attribute value `0x0` cast as integer instead of string and there is no way to specify type

[mb0p]

I am trying to set an attribute with a string value 0x0, however regardless of the quote configuration I use, the value of the attribute is set as an integer with the value of 0.

For example --attrs key1="0x0" or --attrs 'key1=0x0'. There just seems to be no way for the attribute value to have a string type 0x0.

I am using otel-desktop-viewer to view the trace outputs.

Example complete command otel-cli exec --tp-print --fail --verbose --attrs key1='0x0' --name "test" sleep 1

And key1 is set as a number, value 0, instead of string value 0x0.

I should also specify that I have set the following env vars

export OTEL_TRACES_EXPORTER="otlp"
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_TRACES_ENDPOINT="http://localhost:4318/v1/traces"
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL="http/protobuf"

This is probably because I have some automatic type coersion happening. I'm starting to pick up maintenance on a fork at https://github.com/tobert/otel-cli could you please submit the request there? Otherwise I'll try to get back here and look at this soon.
