Description Ryan Lubke 2002-03-27 22:09:30 UTC 
Section A.7.1 of the PD spec, states the following rules to coerce A to a String:

  - If A is a String: return A
  - otherwise, if A is null: return "".
  - otherwise, if A.toString throws exception, error
  - otherwise, return A.toString.

Now if I pass, say, ${1} which, from what I understand, will be interpreted
as a primitive integer, the action should throw an Exception a it's not possible
to call toString() in a primitive.
