Description
In using dtrace, if other types can be converted to character types, then you can easily perform comparison operations, so the logic is much easier to write. But why I didn't find a good way to convert type, usually report error l type conversion failed, such as convert ustack(2) or usym(ucaller) to string type, please ask if there is a good way or suggestion, I will be very grateful!

Research direction
The issue mentions DTrace type conversion involving ustack(2) and usym(ucaller), but names no file, test, or implementation entry point. Start by reviewing existing DTrace conversion behavior and documentation for these built-ins; done would require a clearly documented or supported way to convert them to strings.
