This brings back a question regarding displayString, or something similar. It seems as if many people need something like this.
I need for example a string representation of objects generally to display in anchors in our seaside application. We have a class DomainObject from which most of our classes inherit, so this is probably the place to add a 'displayString' for something like this.
Not necessarily domain objects only. Some core objects (Blocks, CompiledMethods, etc.) could benefit from having a developer string representation (#printString) and a UI string representation (#displayString). Regards, Esteban A. Maringolo
