+if https://github.com/nim-lang/Nim/pull/14043 is merged (or at least its
+tests/system/tostring.nim diff subset), merge
+tests/system/tostring.nim into this file, named after dollars.nim
+
+The goal is to increase test coverage across backends while minimizing test code
+duplication (which always results in weaker test coverage in practice).
