convertToShortString

Atomics: If of length 0 or 1, they are basically printed as they are.
Numerics are formated with <code>num.format</code>.
If of length greater than 1, they are collapsed witd &#8220;,&#8221; and clipped.
so they do not become excessively long.
Expressions will be converted to plain text.
All others: Currently, only their class is simply printed
like &#8220;&lt;data.frame&gt;&#8221;.
Lists: The mechanism above is applied (non-recursively) to their elements.
The result looks like this:
&#8220;a=1, &lt;unamed&gt;=2, b=&lt;data.frame&gt;, c=&lt;list&gt;&#8221;.
