Subject: How secure is replacing "to_s" method?

Hi, I've a class like this:

class Request
	attr_accessor :method, :code
	def to_s
		"#{method} #{code}"
	end
end


So if I print directly an instance I see a string containing both attributes:

message = Request.new
message.method = "INVITE"
message.code = "200"
puts message
=> "INVITE 200"

This is really nice but I'm not sure of how secure it's. Could
replacing "to_s" method change any other behaviour?

Thanks.
