Allow coercion of value types to string

XMLWordPrintable

      Consider: 

      import QtQuick
import QtQuick.Window

Window {
    id: root
    width: 640
    height: 480
    visible: true
    title: qsTr("Hello World")

    property color myColor: "orange"

    Text {
        text: root.myColor
    }
}

      qmllint says:

      Warning: /home/ulf/untitled1/main.qml:14:15: Cannot assign binding of type QColor to QString [incompatible-type]
        text: root.myColor
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^

      It should be possible to coerce QColor (or any value type for that matter) to QString. QQuickColorValueType has an invokable toString() method. Such a method should be used for string coercion. If it's not available, the result should be some '[object Object]', ie the same thing the engine does.
