When an object is preceded with an "=" inside the template delimiters, that
gets translated to response.write(object), which ultimately calls
gluon.html.xmlescape
<https://github.com/web2py/web2py/blob/master/gluon/html.py#L119> -- have a
look at that to see how it serializes objects. Basically, your class should
either have an .xml method or a .__str__ method that serializes the object
as you like. If it has an .xml method, xmlescape will simply return that
output of that method. If it has a .__str__ method, that will get called
when xmlescape passes the object to str(), and after that, the output will
be passed to cgi.escape before being returned (so, use the .xml method
instead if you don't want the escaping to happen automatically).
