Coalesce/decompose have nothing to do with overloaded stringification.
I suppose you could force-stringify an internal value to get a string
representation in a coalesce method, but that may not be very easy for
you to parse in the decompose method.  At any rate, neither one
expects any sort of overloading to be present.  The API for both is
simple.  What happens inside the methods is really up to you.
