How big are your hex strings? If it is really a string, and could be more
than 16 bytes (i.e. what you can fit in a `UInt128`), then I think you'd
want to use `Base.hex2bytes`.
In general, if you are looking for something in Julia, you can just to `?`
at the REPL prompt, and then type what you are looking for... I just found
`hex2bytes` by `?hex`...
