Describe the bug

Considering this code:

class Test {
	thing = $state(0)
	toString() {
		return String(this.thing)
	}
}

const test = new Test()

Using {test} in the component template is not reactive (when thing changes), but {String(test)} is.

Reproduction

I think this is a "won't fix" kind of issue; this has also been raised in regards to SvelteDate.
To not bloat the compiler output for every variable reference, you should explicitly call .toString().

This has come up enough times now that it might make sense documenting this somewhere.

Yeah, this reminds me of #14854, and from that issue, it appears that #14803, #13525, #13054, #9860 #11012 and #10629 are also related. I'm fairly certain that at least one issue every other month is more than enough to warrant some sort of documentation.
