One possible solution to #408 is to replace the inspect member functions with functions keyed on the appropriate symbol (as this pull request does). It also uses the
Symbol.for
approach, as this shouldn't error if the symbol doesn't exist, simply create a new symbol in the global symbol registry (in a browser, this would probably be the case).I'm not personally sure of the status of support for custom inspection across browsers (or the mechanism). I can't see any sign of support, in which case this might well be effectively "no change" for browsers, but a fix for Node as the runtime.
