Steps to reproduce

1. Make sure that import Standard.Table is included at the beginning.
2. Create a node Table.new [["foo", [Ordering.Less, Ordering.Equal]]].
3. Show the visualization and switch it to Table.

Expected

The visualization cells should display Less and Equal.

Actual

They display [object Object] instead.

Comment

For comparison, if we add a node . at "foo" . to_vector and show the Table visualization on the Vector type, it is displayed correctly. So the logic for vectors seems to be correct and the logic for tables seems to lack something, but it should be fairly easy to just adapt the logic from vectors.

It seems the issue is in the logic of table visualization (see toTableCell function).

[jdunkerley]

JSON serialization of an Object should include the to_display_text within the Table viz.
This can then be used within table.js to render the value. This can also remove the Date, Time_Of_Day and Date_Time workaround.

[jdunkerley]

Table.js now has support for _DISPLAY_TEXT_.
This ticket is to update the enso serialization to add that and simplify the table.js

While here steal ownership!

[jdunkerley]

Include rendering of JS_Object.

Progress: Working through adjusting the serialization format for the Table viz. Added to_display_text to many types missing it. It should be finished by 2023-04-21.
