feature request: toString() functions for Slice types
Hi, would it be possible to automatically generate function for dumping Slice types to strings? I guess you could have an option similar to --stream in slice2xxx utilities.
Currently we write such functions by hand and use them mostly for debugging. Writing them is not much fun.
After parsing *.ice files you should have all the information necessary to generate some default to-string conversion. The only question is what to do with (potentially large) sequences. I'm picturing something very simple like:

struct MyStructure
int a=1
double x=1.2345
string name=alex
struct MyStruct
int b=2
double y=6.7890
string sequence jobs=[length=12]
