no modification,  in case we will add
pdfe.getpdfstring
and mark getstring as deprecated.
one can define that as helper in lua if needed:

function pdfe.getpdfstring(n,m)
     if pdfe.type(n) == "pdfe.array" then
         local t, v, d = pdfe.getfromarray(n,m)
         return v, d
     elseif pdfe.type(n) == "pdfe.dictionary" then
         local t, v, d = pdfe.getfromdictionary(n,m)
         return v, d
     end
end
