Strange Documentation of GetViewHelper

[someplace53]

The documentation in the Readme.md of the GetViewHelper seems to be a bit strange.
The first line should probably be something like this:

# Retrieve a custom value (in this case "author") from the item...

Than the example is a bit useless, as author is a SimplePie-object which will output a hash, when used as in the example. And at least I can not figure out how to get the name of the author. I would appreciate a hint how to do this.
