* Transforms beans into {@link String Strings} by simply calling the {@link Object#toString()} method.

* being turned into Maps by the {@link BeanContext} (or worse, throwing
* {@link BeanRuntimeException BeanRuntimeExceptions}).
*
*
* This is usually a one-way transform.
* Beans serialized as strings cannot be reconstituted using a parser unless it is a
* Type 5 POJO.
