#convert_with_option_to_not_use_inspect_for_strings(object) ⇒ Object

The problem with the original convert() is that it always called #inspect on strings… which is fine if you really want to see all those n‘s and such. But not so great if you want to visually compare the strings. And if you have ANSI color codes in the strings, it will escape those so that you see the codes (e[33m1) rather than the nice colored strings that you (sometimes) want to see…
