Hi, Is there any web2py-way to change the string representation of a row? I 
want my custom representation when doing 'print row' or {{=row}} in views.

I have a list of rows from different tables, and it'd be nice to take advantage 
of something polymorphic like __str__ or __unicode__

controller.py
=================
def action():
    rows = list(db(db.table1).select()) + list(db(db.table2).select())
    return dict(rows=rw=ows)

view.html
=================
{{for row in rows}}
    <div>{{=row}}</div>
{{pass}}

I know I could use db.table._format but I'd prefer not to exponse db.table to 
the view.

Thanks,
Ramón
