The "are" there is doing a lot of work here. :-) In my use case, the
stringly representation is not the identity of the selection.

And that is the artificiality of it. If you're on a web page listing
different items, and they have the same name, you don't see the web
designers putting made-up irrelevant characters into the link text --
they keep the identifying stuff hidden in the links.

I don't remember any more -- I only know that the text properties are
stripped at some point.

I was being vague, because I don't know how we'd specify "don't strip
the text properties". Probably like how we specify affixation functions
and all the rest.
But I still have no idea why we're stripping text properties in the
first place, so could you please explain that?
