# A couple of variants of 'to-text' that we'll use implicitly in stashes (see
# later layers).
#
# Mu code might specialize them to be smarter, but I don't anticipate any need
# beyond specializing 'to-text' itself.
# 'shorter' variant of to-text, when you want to enable some sort of trimming
# define it to be identical to 'to-text' by default
