			* This function ''appears'' to do the same thing as [[API getglobal\|getglobal]] except that it only returns string values.
			** Examples
			:<pre> local var1 = getglobal("ChatFrame1") -- var1 is a reference to <frame> ChatFrame1.</pre>
			:<pre> local var2 = GetText("ChatFrame1") -- var2 is an empty string (<string> "").</pre>
			:<pre> local var3 = getglobal("YES") -- var3 is <string> "Yes" (on enUS clients).</pre>
			:<pre> local var4 = GetText("YES") -- var4 is <string> "Yes" (on enUS clients).</pre>
