Converts an indexset to string for display.
Example 
dim n as NSIndexSetMBS = NSIndexSetMBS.indexSetWithIndexesInRange(10,40)
MsgBox n

This is for having str() function and msgbox work with NSIndexSetMBS class.
If more than 20 values, you get only 20 values followed with dots and last value on the end.

n3.addIndexes n1
n3.addIndexes n2
dim count1 as Integer = n1.count // 10
dim count2 as Integer = n2.count //  5
dim count3 as Integer = n3.count // 15
