   * Create a string or convert any object into a string.
   * Elements of Arrays and Matrices are processed element wise.
   *
   * Syntax:
   *
   *    math.string(value)
   *
   * Examples:
   *
   *    math.string(4.2)               // returns string '4.2'
   *    math.string(math.complex(3, 2) // returns string '3 + 2i'
   *
   *    const u = math.unit(5, 'km')
   *    math.string(u.to('m'))         // returns string '5000 m'
   *
   *    math.string([true, false])     // returns ['true', 'false']
   *
   * See also:
   *
   *    bignumber, boolean, complex, index, matrix, number, unit
   *
   * @param {* | Array | Matrix | null} [value]  A value to convert to a string
   * @return {string | Array | Matrix} The created string
