Did you consider a convenience function to convert a value
to string, instead?  Then you'd write:

 (gdb) printf "Visiting node of type %s\n", $_as_string(node)

And maybe do other things with it.

No, but I think it's a good idea.

Do you see _as_string as applicable to any type, a bit like str() inPython, or just to some specific types that we chose and make sense(like enum)?
