I've nothing against its removal, but wasn't sure whether or not it was
used/unused. In fact, there is "outputForm" and was "string" and it
wasn't clear what the purpose of "string" was.

However, somehow I feel that "outputForm" (which adds quotes around the
string) is the function that is wrong. OutputForm should only be markup
that is then rendered accordingly by the the various Formatters
(Texformat, Htmlformat, TexmacsFormat, etc.)
