EDIT: Figured it out.

deparse(a[[1]]) %>% class

Disclaimer: someone will probably say, this is a terrible idea. Probably is, but I want to know how to do the following regardless.

I am playing around today with some lazy evaluation. I want these inputs converted to strings. The sticking point is that I can't find a way to coerce these inputs into strings because probably, lazyeval is probably not supposed to do this.

library(lazyeval)
library(tidyverse)

m <- 
  function(...){
    inputs<-
        lazy_dots(...) 

    inputs_list = list()
    for(i in seq_along(inputs)) {
          inputs_list[[i]] = inputs[[i]]$expr
    }

    inputs_list %>%
    unlist
}

a=m(a:"n", c > 10)

# Gives type: 'Lanuage'
typeof(a[[1]])

I would be thrilled to see this written as:

'a:"n"' 

and as a character.

The end goal is to start working on a dplyr like syntax to create MongoDB queries for people who do need to use a MongoDB, but are too lazy to learn MongoDB. Which, I hope is everyone because laziness is wonderful
