Problem
Often users can get confused on issues where they expect to have a number but actually have a string, or vice-versa, since the broadcasted values look identical.
Solution
This expression turns inputs into strings, but also adds the type of the value to the string. Text is also quoted for clarity:
I kept this simple for now, but more debug options (like conversions, debug info on expressions, etc) could be added later or based on verbosity settings. I intentionally did not use
Classes.getDebugMessagebecause it was not very user-friendly:[long:1]. This has the drawback of not having the built-in debug messages some types include, but the plus side of being easier to read and more standardized between types.Testing Completed
Manual confirmation.
Supporting Information
This is pretty bare-bones, but I didn't want to get all that complex with it right now. I know more could be added, but I'd rather save that complexity for another pr.
