ToString UDF

[Kanashius]

This is an UDF to print the content and type of any variable.
This includes basic datatypes, as well as all data in multidimensional arrays, DllStructs, Maps, some Objects like Dictionaries,... Basically any datatype I could think of.

By Default, the datatype is given, this can be turned of. Additionally the spacing can be tuned to ones liking.

I hope you like it and feel free to provide some feedback for improvement.
