If you "say $x" on an $x that is an instance of class Foo that lacks stringification via __get_string(), then you get a crash with the error "get_string() not implemented in class Foo". I propose that Perl6Object get a fallback __get_string method that returns simply the class name and a unique identifier (maybe a pointer value). While unaesthetic, that fallback would prevent the program from just crashing and (as a bonus) would reveal the class name. This approach has precedent in Perl5, Java, and other languages.
