DMN14 — Improve description of built-in function string()

The expected output of the built-in function string() should be defined for each type. Otherwise it is unclear what the result for a value, for example of type time, is. Is it the string literal or the full expression with built-in function time()?

// which FEEL expression is valid?
string(time("11:00:00")) = "11:00:00"
string(time("11:00:00")) = "time("11:00:00")"

Recommendation: Introduce a new table that lists example outputs for all types:

• null -> null
• boolean -> "true" or "false"
• string -> "This is a string"
• number -> "-1.234"
• date -> "2017-10-11"
• time -> "11:00:00.123" or "11:00:00.123+02:00" or "11:00:00.123@Europe/Paris"
• date and time -> "2017-10-11T11:00:00.123" or "2017-10-11T11:00:00.123+02:00" or "2017-10-11T11:00:00.123@Europe/Paris"
• days and time duration -> "P2DT3H4M5.123S"
• years and months duration -> "P2Y3M"
• list -> "[1,2,3]"
• context -> "{a: true, b: false}"
• range -> "[1..100]"
• unary test -> "> 10"
• function -> null
