In version 2.2, breve does not automatically do the conversion to  
strings, as
you note.  This has already been fixed for version 2.3, but in the  
meantime,
the workaround is to simply embed a vector variable in a string for  
formatting,
as in the example below:

     location (vector).

     location = (thing get-location).

     it write-line text "$location".
