I don't know asymptote well enough to know if you would /always/ want a
heterogeneous table to be converted to all strings, or if there would
ever be a case where you would want mixed types in a table. If a later
then perhaps this behavior should be tucked behind a header argument,
e.g., :mixed-table-all-strings (or somesuch) which could default to
either true or false depending on which use cases is more common.
Let me know which would be most useful and least surprising and I'll
gladly apply the patch.
Thanks -- Eric
