string index on bind callback

Hi.
When binding a table/entry oid to a "get" callback, I can read the
index of the child snmp node with the %i substitution variable:
$session bind $table-oid get [list my-callback %V %i]

In this case the index originally is an octet string like "idn" which
will be converted to "105.100.110" on the "get" callback.
Unfortunately I need to know the "real" string, but converting decimal
number strings to "real" strings seems to be rather complicated in tcl.
I tried
mib format table-index $i
(where $i is the replaced %i variable)
but (as I expected) this doesn't work.

Certainly there is some easy method to get at the index name ?

Thanks for any hints
Bernd
