While it's certainly doable to morph a list to a string and vv, it's a
bit tedious and it doesn't really match you description above.
I'd just do:
pmclass TclString ... {
METHOD PMC* stringToList() {
// create new list and return it
}
METHOD PMC* listToString() {
return SELF; // already a string
}
}
pmclass TclList ... {
METHOD PMC* listToString() {
// create new string from the list and return it
}
METHOD PMC* stringToList() {
return SELF;
}
}
$P1 = $P0."stringToList"()
