Hello,

The ColdC function toliteral() currently calls data_to_literal with the
DF_WITH_OBJNAMES flag set, so that objnums are looked up to objnames
whereever possible.  I'd like to be able to pass an option to toliteral()
that passes DF_NO_OPTS to data_to_literal instead, always returning
objnums as is.

I need this functionality for an in-game textdump routine, btw.  I've
implemented it in my own code in a quick-and-dirty manner.  I don't
understand the Genesis hardcode well enough to implement in correctly yet.
Below is my version of COLDC_FUNC(toliteral) in src/ops/data.c, though.

Thanks,
Jeremy Weatherford

COLDC_FUNC(toliteral) {
    cStr *str;

	INIT_1_OR_2_ARGS(ANY_TYPE, ANY_TYPE);

	str = data_to_literal(&args[0], (argc == 2) ? FALSE : TRUE);

    pop(argc);
    push_string(str);
    string_discard(str);
}
