Description

The toString builtin function was added as PR #120 and SYSTEMML-693.
The way to print a matrix with this builtin function is

m = ... # Create Matrix
print("matrix : " + toString(m))

To improve usability, the DML programmer should be able to say

m = ... # Create Matrix
print("matrix : " + m)

The call to toString should be automatically inserted.
