Beta3 said this for toString()
/**
* Override of the default method to return the resource string
represented
* by this string resource model. Useful in debugging and so on, to
avoid
* the explicit need to call the getString() method.
*
* @return The string for this model object
*/
and this for getString()
/**
* Gets the string currently represented by this string resource model.
The
* string that is returned may vary for each call to this method
depending
* on the values contained in the model and an the parameters that were
* passed when this string resource model was created.
*
* @return The string
*/
It's arguable that it is/was saying that it could be used to avoid
the explicit getString() call but as it no longer can (as it's being
used to expose internal details for logging/debugging), then it should
really be mentioned in a change note somewhere.
