printString does what I want for Arrays with all elements except
metaclasses including classes. It's a log file, it's got two uses, one
is to read to see what happened the other is to replay to reproduce
bugs.

   {Array . 42} storeString '((Array new: 2) at: 1 put: Array; at: 2 put: 42; yourself)'
   {Array . 42} printString '{Array . 42}'

I quickly tried using storeString and it's not very readable for 
small examples, for the longer ones with 5-10 arrays containing
an integer (bytecode address) and a class (the receiving class)
it would be hopeless.

P.S. I just used printString because it worked, I only tried
storeString after reading your email.
