Return the non-modifiable string representation corresponding to the specified type, if it exists, and a unique (error) string otherwise. The string representation of type matches its corresponding enumerator name with the e_ prefix elided.

For example: ` bsl::cout << bdld::Datum::dataTypeToAscii(bdld::Datum::e_NIL); ` will print the following on standard output: NIL Note that specifying a type that does not match any of the enumerators will result in a string representation that is distinct from any of those corresponding to the enumerators, but is otherwise unspecified.
