string is trimmed before being converted. Thousand separators are really
valid only to separate thousands. Extra non-space characters at the end
of the string make the conversion fail.

So keep the constant string datatype when undoing the variant.
Otherwise, the constant string will be assumed to be a Gambas string, and
will be deallocated, which leads to a crash.

compilation.
[INTERPRETER]
