Description

The "toString()" method on an instance of a FeatureStructure does a nice job of printing it out, but doesn't descend into the contents of a feature which is an FSArray. Here's a pretty printed example that shows this:

instance RelationInstance
sofa: _InitialView
begin: 2328
end: 2355
relation: Merger
company: FSArray
status: "known"

It would be nice if it did, and if it made use of the circularity detection mechanism, as well
