    In the context of an error message, reporting the type of object found there is a more appropriate (and useful) response.

    If you say so...
    But if the object has a string value that might convey more meaning!
    Anyway, the message description talks of "value"

    You can still achieve that by setting an objectName for the object instance. This is a less dynamic form that causes fewer problems during error reporting. Add this line to the
    end of your init method:

    self~objectName = v

    I added that line but can't see an effect :-(

      The message now has the value you set ("invalid: B") rather than the
      original "a TINYOBJ", which is what you were complaining about. How can
      you say it did not have any effect?

    Afterthought:
    Of course, I have to add that line also to a possible set method
    ::method set_value
    Expose v
    Use Arg x
    v=x
    self~objectName = v -- Rick's advice

    or any other method that changes the value.
    But isn't that just redundancy?
    What speaks really against using the string value as suggested in the first place??

    If it were me, I'd add the self~objectName = v to the init method (or create an init method with that line) so the object has a name from the beginning.
