toString for objects is ridiculous

1

We often have a sealed class with subclasses which are either data class or object:

sealed class AuthResponse {
    object Success : AuthResponse()
    object WrongUsernameOrPassword : AuthResponse()
    data class VerificationCodeRequired(
        val options: VerificationCodeOption
    ) : AuthResponse()
}

And while data classes have a nice auto-generated toString method, for objects there isn’t anything like this and toString will return ridiculous result such as:

com.google.firebase.oauth.AuthResponse$Success@7e94e331

Which is very inconvenient. Could we generate a toString for objects which only prints the simple name? Perhaps this can be done only if they are inside a sealed class.

It was discussed earlier (KT-4107, KT-34774), but the subject seems to stayed silent for quite some time already.
