petdance/scratch — Issue #214: change get_string on FPA, RPA (et al?)

RPA inherits the get_string vtable from its parent, FPA, which says:
{{{
Returns the number of elements in the array as a Parrot string. (??? -leo)
}}}

??? indeed - why doesn't this return something more useful like, e.g.: join(" ",@foo) ?

Anyone like the current functionality, or agree with the proposal?
