{{alias}}( value )
    Returns a string value indicating a specification defined classification of
    an object.

    The function is *not* robust for ES2015+ environments. In ES2015+,
    `Symbol.toStringTag` allows overriding the default description of an object.
    While measures are taken to uncover the default description, such measures
    can be thwarted. While this function remains useful for type-checking, be
    aware that value impersonation is possible. Where possible, prefer functions
    tailored to checking for particular value types, as specialized functions
    are better equipped to address `Symbol.toStringTag`.

    Parameters
    ----------
    value: any
        Input value.

    Returns
    -------
    out: string
        String value indicating a specification defined classification of the
        input value.

    Examples
    --------
    > var str = {{alias}}( 'a' )
    '[object String]'
    > str = {{alias}}( 5 )
    '[object Number]'
    > function Beep(){};
    > str = {{alias}}( new Beep() )
    '[object Object]'
