Arguments: object
Returns a string derived from an arbitrary object. When a command that
acts on a string (such as apropos or find-in-files) is invoked in the
Allegro development environment, the default selected-string method
finds a string to apply the command to by calling object-string on the
selected-object of the selected window. Object-string may return
nil if a string cannot be derived in some
reasonable way from the object. Object-string is bypassed if there is
a more specific selected-string method for a particular command and
selected window; these more specific methods sometimes exist when it
is not sufficient to funnel through the general selected-object in
order to derive a selected-string for the window.
