I need to generate some unique text for that node (I am creating a visual
representation of a nodelist using graphviz), so I see two choices: a) get some
id string or b) create a look table with the nodes as an index and some random
string as the value for each node. But somehow b) didn't work. Is there a way
to get the "value of a pointer" as a text string in Lua? Such as when you do
tostring({}).
