---------------------------------------------------------------
I've used {{java.lang.Enum#name}} because somebody might use an enum constant
in a test expression (SLING-5053) and you want the test condition to be stable,
since {{#toString}} can be changed at any point in time without affecting the
binary compatibility. See this extract from {{java.lang.Enum#name}}'s JavaDoc:
{quote}This method is designed primarily for use in specialized situations
where correctness depends on getting the exact name, which will not vary from
release to release.

> ObjectModel.toString() should support more classes

> Key: SLING-9968
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-9968
> Project: Sling
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Scripting
> Affects Versions: Scripting HTL Engine 1.4.6-1.4.0
> Reporter: Konrad Windszus
> Priority: Major
>
> For getter methods returning e.g. a {{java.net.URI}} there is no implicit
> {{toString()}} being applied. When looking at the HTL specs it seems not
> defined how to deal with complex objects
> (https://github.com/adobe/htl-spec/blob/master/SPECIFICATION.md#1152-string),
> but given that enums and primitives are automatically converted
> (https://github.com/apache/sling-org-apache-sling-scripting-sightly-runtime/blob/6cbd676a8875af756e6e43b38c39ba9e4784dc4e/src/main/java/org/apache/sling/scripting/sightly/render/ObjectModel.java#L238)
> already, I am wondering why other types like {{URI}} or {{URL}} are not
> supported.
> Is there any harm when doing object.toString() as fallback?
