Currently it is not possible to inspect getters. To prevent any side
effects this should not become a default but under lots of
circumstances it would still be useful to inspect getters. This way
it is possible to actively opt into inspecting those.

wouldn't this be better suited for the custom inspect symbol? i feel like this is too blunt a sword.

@devsnek in what way? The default is set to off. In most code we do not check for the descriptors at all and just access the properties. In util.inspect we are more conservative and only allow direct access with an option.

@BridgeAR i'm just trying to imagine when i would personally use this, and the answer is either "something weird i don't own" in which case i wouldn't want to just willy-nilly trigger accessors, or something i own, in which case i would just add a custom inspect symbol.

an alternative to this could be using v8 side effect detection in the default inspector

@devsnek I see your point but I still see further use cases and it is easier to use this option than writing a custom inspection function each time. I personally would like to use this while having customInspect = false and inside assert since we don't pay attention to getters when comparing objects and in that case the error output is not as it should be.
