Greg Brown commented on PIVOT-512:
----------------------------------
Sorry, I should have been more specific. I meant the toString(Object) method of
the renderer. This method is used to convert items to a string representation
(i.e. it "renders" the item as text). It is currently used to facilitate
keyboard navigation (e.g. by jumping to the first item beginning with a given
letter) but also seems like a natural fit here.
I think adding some sort of conversion interface would simply muddy the API,
since converting items to strings is the primary purpose of the existing
toString(Object) method. If you are using someone else's renderer, why not just
extend it and override that method? Seems easy enough.
