The correct way to define user-defined stringfication is either through
method Str { ... }
or
method prefix:<~> ($self: ) { ... }
(afaict both are not implemented in Rakudo yet)
Parrots concept of 'get_string' is on a different level (vtable stuff I
think, but I don't grok the internals) and not accessible from Perl 6.

I think that every class should have a default stringification. Dunno if
there's a ticket for it yet.
