RTFM :-)

 - Function: posn-string position
     Return the string object in POSITION, either `nil', or a cons cell
     `(STRING . STRING-POS)'.

 - Function: posn-object position
     Return the image or string object in POSITION, either `nil', an
     image `(image ...)', or a cons cell `(STRING . STRING-POS)'.

Maybe, but there is already too many posn- functions :-)

Don't worry.  I will fix the doc strings.
