The method that once was named textString() was being used to provide
a stringified representation of insets. This was used both for the GUI
toc *and* for copy-and-paste purpose (since forever, me thinks).
That method was then renamed as tocString(), but it is still used for
copy-and-paste, too, causing confusion.

Because otherwise you would not be able to paste equations in external
applications.

I think we want them. For example, when you have
\section{Computing $\pi$ with arbitrary precision}
you would like to see the math in the toc, instead of
"Computing with arbitrary precision".
