util.inspect different in vm #4080
Description
I'm not entirely sure if this is a bug or my misunderstanding, but I was surprised to discover that these two expressions have different values in the 5.1.0 node repl:
vm.runInNewContext("util.inspect({})", { util: util }) //=> 'Object {}'
util.inspect({}) //=> '{}'or for standalone examples outside of the repl:
bash> node -pe "require('vm').runInNewContext('util.inspect({})', { util: require('util') })"
Object {}
bash> node -pe "require('util').inspect({})"
{}Is this intended behavior? Is there a way to get the repl equivalent result from util.inspect in a vm without resorting to string replacement?

I'm happy to investigate and contribute a pr to fix this if it is in fact a bug

There is a PR (#3385) that fixes this already. It's my fault, I forgot it was still open. I will work on landing it soon.
