--------------------------------------
So maybe we're just missing javadoc to clearly specify what {{asString()}}
returns ?
> Node.asString vs toString

> The Node interface has an asString method. It seems likely that this should
> just be toString like other Java classes. However, if there's a reason for a
> separate method, the JavaDoc should explain that. Currently it says "Returns
> a string representation of this dependency node." which is almost what the
> JavaDoc for the generic toString method of object says: "Returns a string
> representation of the object."
