[armedbear-devel] TYPE-ERROR #<java.lang.String foo {BADEAFFE}> cannot be coerced to a string.

Hi.

Just stumbled across this one when I tried to use STRING-EQUAL to compare a value I received via JINTERFACE-IMPLEMENTATION.

Now, it appears to be very simple to allow the expression

(string (jnew "java.lang.String" "foo"))

by overriding STRING() in JavaObject and checking if obj is a (java) String.

What do you think?
