Interestingly, I find the easiest fix is: never use unquoted constants.

If it didn't break other peoples queries I'd suggest modifying the parser so
that numbers are parsed as strings of type unknown instead of numbers. Then
let the normal type matching system go to work on it.

That said, a good system for type promotion would be cool.
