Further information
1. This function calls directly the tostring routine of the module. It is therefore recommended to check whether the type supports this functionality before using this function (see gettypeprop).
2. The returned length might be larger than size. In this case this return value is the minimum buffer size required to generate the text representation and the destination string str is not populated.
