I like the way we output daya now, and feel the way Firebug dumps everythign as
a large string is not as elegant.

I can see this being useful. I don't think underscores are a good fit here.
Maybe "toConsoleResult" or "toConsoleMessage"? Matching the the "toString" and
"toValue" concept.

Objective-C also has this with the "description" method.
