Yes, the idea, but I was expecting someone to tell me that "str" is ugly
(especially when appearing twice :D)
The second one can be 'str', not the first one.

In my mind consumers don't want to ask for each attributes to be expanded, but
one "expand everything" (actually "stringify everything") switch. I may be
wrong.

Maybe we are mixing "expand" and "stringify" into the same concept and we
should not.
