Emmanuel Bernard commented on BVAL-219:
---------------------------------------

actually it's a bad practice not to expect calls to #toString at any time. imo the real question is that it might expose information which might be surprising. in one of my projects i used InvalidValueAware as workaround. for sure it isn't that nice as well.
->
#1:
for simple data-types like primitives, dates,... there is imo no problem to call #toString
#2:
we have to thing about a nice approach how we can handle more complex cases btw. give the user more control for such cases - maybe with an additional annotation for such special methods.

> The main drawback is that there is no formatting and that we will call value.toString() to resolve the value into string.
