ShowTellSimple

Provides the standard string representation for the object. Its called ShowT to indicate this is a type class method that acts upon an object rather than a method on the object being shown.

Simple values such as Int, String, Double have a syntax depth of one. A Tuple3[String, Int, Double] has a depth of 2. Not clear whether this should always be determined at compile time or if sometimes it should be determined at runtime.

Returns a string representation of the object.

The default representation is platform dependent.

This property determines if the type can be used with Multiple syntax.

MyObj * 7

. for describing sequences succinctly. This is not desirable for some types such as numerical and mathematical vector types as this could be confusing 3 * 4 should resolve to an Int of value 12, not a Multiple(3, 4).
