Description
Hi,
When calling str on a pyvmomi object it returns the reference with quotes in the actual string, e.g:
'vim.Folder:group-v66799'
Why does it add these un-necessary quotes? Is there a way to get it without the quotes, or a way to just get the managed object reference directly (other than _moid which since it starts with a leading underscore I guess we should not be using?).
Thanks in advance.

Research direction
Reproduce the reported str() result on a pyvmomi managed object and compare it with the _moid value mentioned in the issue. Trace the object’s string-conversion entry point; done means the intended managed-object reference representation is established and covered by an appropriate test, but the issue names no file or existing test.
