toliteral(data)

This function converts any data to a C-- literal or constructor expression which, when read by the interpreter, will result in the same data object.

Examples:

toliteral([3, "foo", 'bar, #60, ~none])
     => "[3, \"foo\", 'bar, #60, ~none]"
toliteral(tosym("foo-" + tostr(3 + 4)))
     => "tosym(\"foo-7\")"
toliteral(<#56, #[['type, 'obj], ['obj, #22]]>)
     => "<#56, #[['type, 'obj], ['obj, #22]]>"
