This is particularly a problem since [0.198](https://prestodb.io/docs/current/release/release-0.198.html), where decimal literals are now interpreted as `DECIMAL` by default, which means a query like `SELECT 1.0` was coming through as a String.

Hmm, good catch. But the latest presto returns decimal type as String in JSON encoding.
It would be better to keep the returned type as much as possible to avoid unnecessary consufion.
If users want to use decimal as numeric type, they can do that by checking type information.
