      We added new methods into some shell objects:

      ObjectId: We exposed the new constructor `Object.createFromHexString`
      Binary: We exposed the new constructor `Binary.createFromBase64String` that should be used preferably.
      Also, Binaries are now printed differently in the shell, using the new Binary.Binary.createFromBase64String('the value as base64').

      Add support in the shell for the changes introduced in https://jira.mongodb.org/browse/NODE-4855

      Make sure the new form is used when displaying Binary objects

      Tasks:

      • ObjectId: we need to expose the createFromHexString method
      • Binary: we need to expose the createFromBase64String method
      • Binary, we will change how we print it in the REPL, to the new format: Binary.createFromBase64String('the value as base64')
