[Swift-devel] DataNode.toString()

[Mihael Hategan]

data.toString() had this hack that if there was a value, it would return
that value (which was assumed useable in fuctional code), otherwise it
would return the cryptic stuff.

So depending on whether we want the old behavior or not is trace and
tracef, I can add a .getValue() where needed.

So do we?
