Node uses inspect.custom to let classes define custom formatting when console logged.

It would be nice for earl to also follow that to reduce verbosity if diffs.

Earl relies on mocha to print out readable diffs ie. throwing an AssertionError with expected and actual objects. Rest is done by a test runner. The only thing that earl does is really replacing matchers with exact values for cleaner diffs.

I am gonna close this as I don't think we can do anything about it.
