Adding support for
stringifier
functions in Kotlin. This means, generatingoverride fun toString(): String
as the signature for a function annotated with thestringifier
attribute.This is specifically useful for allowing default printing of objects. If a Kotlin
Result
has an error type that overridestoString
, then thattoString
is called to display the error, which is much more useful than the defaulttoString
that just prints the object address. With this PR, we can customize what's printed with thetoString
if the Result has a Rust-backed error type (by writing a validto_string
on the Rust side).
