The current functionality (return the number of elements as a string)
is not at all useful, and in many cases it's worse than throwing
an exception would be.
I'd like to see the default behavior be something like "all elements
joined by a space", or if that's inappropriate then simply throw
an exception when attempting to get_string() from a RPA/FPA.
