Returns a minimal string representation of this object, usually giving just identity information like the class name and name of the object.
For an object whose main purpose is to represent another Printable object, it is
recommended to include the result of calling toStringShort on that other object.
For example, calling toStringShort() on a DisplayShape might return something like
this:
DisplayShape{polygon:Polygon{'chain3'}}
a minimal string representation of this object.
