This method had been lost in 2012 (see Commit v4.6.0)
when a
ViewString
method had replaced it.Note that other
ViewObj
methods for the objects in question areapplicable that have a higher rank than the delegation to
ViewString
.The same happens for many objects, but for the moment I want to fix
the behavior for fields.
