Convert an object to a string representation.
 
Integer_Type string (obj) 
The string function may be used to convert an object
obj of any type to a string representation.
For example, string(12.34) returns "12.34".
 
     define print_anything (anything)
     {
        message (string (anything));
     }
 
This function is not the same as typecasting to a String_Type
using the typecast function.
