previously, the get_string method of the .None PMC returned "None". it's been modified to return the somewhat more sane "", or empty string. this may affect code using .Hash PMCs, as the get_string method of the .None PMC is called when the value of a non-existant hash key is requested in string context. for example:
P0 = new .Hash S0 = P0['abc'] eq S0, '', OK print 'not ' OK: print 'ok' end ## prints 'ok' all affected tests and library files have been modified. ~jerry
