Make sure that evaluating the inspection result of a Binary object
returns a result that can be evaluated to give an object equivalent
to the original.

Thanks for this! it makes sense that the inspect prints should be "round-trippable" so to speak for debugging.
Sorry to increase scope on you but would you mind adding Decimal128 to this fix?

currently it outputs:

> BSON.Decimal128.fromString('12345')
Decimal128('12345')
// But the constructor takes a sequence of bytes not a string:
> Decimal128('12345')
Decimal128("2.1542142465E-6166") // bad value

It should have the fromString() call on the end instead.

Would it also make sense to add new to the beginning of the inspect strings?

@nbbeeken Sure, done!

Well, yes, but I also didn't want to increase the scope here too much. Also done! :)
