If it's mainly for debugging maybe it's not worth spending time on.

Nonsense!  Developers spend a lot of time debugging.  Helping people

Sorry sorry. I just meant to say it's not worth coming with an airtight design. We might afford some extra conversions and extra virtual calls I guess.

But that being said, I'd so much want to start thinking of an actual text serialization infrastructure. Why develop one later with the mention "well use that stuff for debugging only, this is the real stuff."
