	ASH did not originally support polymorphic functions, so it was not possible to have (for example) a single '''to_string(any)''' function that worked on any datatype. Instead, there were separate '''int_to_string(int)''', '''item_to_string(item)''', etc. functions. You may see these used in older scripts, and in fact they still work. The rule is that if a function name is not otherwise defined anywhere, and it ends with one of the modern type conversion function names shown above, it is treated as a call to the modern function.
