Ok, I understand why it happens: __str__ returns [obj description], and
when we convert _all_ strings, this automatically works correctly, but
if we don't it doesn't <wink>, since it seems any NSString just returns
self from description. But now I don't know how to work around that...
Any hints? (Btw. I've found Lib/objc/_convenience.py.)
