inconsistent inspect behaviors between host objects and decontextified objects

[shigma]

const { VM } = require('vm2')

const vm = new VM()

console.log(new Date())) // Fri Aug 07 2020 23:39:04 GMT+0800 (中国标准时间)
console.log(vm.run('new Date()')) // Date {}

This is a problem with node's inspect method. There is noting I can really do.

[shigma]

I think since we can attach toStringTag parameter to instance method, there is chance that we can attach a inspectCustom parameter to it as well (maybe through tough work though).

[XmiliaH]

That is certainly possible. However, custom inspect needs to be enabled and I am not sure if it is by default.

Can I have a try on this issue?

[XmiliaH]

If you want you can try it.

I just came up with another idea which may solve this issue: #315
