Function
	makestr

Purpose
	Makes a str value from other types of values.

Return Type
	str

Syntax
	makestr(<type>(<value>))

Arguments
	<type>	Can be real, int, str, bool.
	<value>	A value of type <type>. This can be a constant,
		variable, another function, expression, inline
		command or a combination of these, together
		resulting in a value of type <type>.

Return Value
	A constant of type str. The <value>, whether it is a variable,
	expression, or anything else, remains unchanged.

Stream Input	
	Streams apply to commands and not to functions.

Stream Output
	Streams apply to commands and not to functions.

Stream Error
	Streams apply to commands and not to functions, although any errors
	will be written here.

Description
	Depending on <type>, makestr() function performs
	the type conversion as follows.

	<type>	Return Value
	-------	-------------------------------------------------------------
	real	A str constant containing the real value.
	int	A str constant containing the int value.
	str	A str constant containing the original str value.
		(Makes a copy of the original value.)
	bool	A str constant containing the word "true" or "false"
		depending the bool value.
		
Restrictions
	Although any type can be converted to any other type using the makeXXXX functions,
	be careful, as it may sometimes produce unintended results.

	All system functions are declared as global, and can not be redeclared (overloaded).

Valid Examples
	var str sFileCount
	var int fileCount
	...
	# Assign some number of files to $fileCount
	...
	set $sFileCount = makestr(int($fileCount))
	
	The str representation of the int value in $fileCount is now available in $sFileCount.


Invalid Examples
	var str s
	var int i
	set $s = $i

	Will produce error, since $s is of type str, which is
	of lower operability than int, which is the type of $i.
	Automatic conversion will fail, since it only happpens
	toward higher operability.

	set $s = makestr(int($i))

	Will work.
