---------------------------------------------------------
The display_data on the PTransform is specifically meant to enable this. Please
use that instead. We can add display_data for other types where it would be
useful.

> The FunctionSpec payload is opaque outside of the native environment, which
> can make debugging pipeline protos difficult. It would be very useful if the
> FunctionSpec had an optional human readable "label", for debugging and
> presenting in UIs and error messages.
> For example, in python, if the payload is an instance of a class, we could
> attempt to provide a string that represents the dotted path to that class,
> "mymodule.MyClass". In the case of coders, we could use the label to hold
> the type hint: "Optional[Iterable[mymodule.MyClass]]".
