Implementation of magic method __toString

[Germanaz0]

To simplify the way to view entities should be a better feature, to have in ElggEntity a magic method toString, so in this way we could have something like this.

class ElggEntity ... {

public function toString() {

return elgg_view_entity($this, TRUE);

}

...
}

So if we have fore example a profile of something in the controller we could make something like that.

$ob = new ElggUser($userGUID);
echo $ob;

Not a fan of this. Prefer Evan's suggestion of generalizing elgg_view so that you can do this elgg_view($entity). The reason being is that you frequently want to pass a parameter to the view so why have two different methods based on how many parameters I want to pass.
