Dumping objects outputs [object Object]

If you pass an object instead of a string, what gets dumped is [object Object] instead of the actual dump of that object. One solution could be to possibly check if it’s of type ‘object’ and if so, either just return the object unstyled, or JSON.stringify() it, but I’m not sure that’s ideal.

Not interested in changing that behavior. It’s been like that for years and you’re the first to complain. If I had done it again I would have typechecked the input and thrown a TypeError, but that’s not worth doing a breaking change over.

@HillTravis for the record, you could always do

console.log(require('util').inspect(obj, {colors:true, depth:null}));
