Description Bastian Ilsø 2017-08-02 13:01:11 UTC

Currently we only provide the object name and its class when logging an object using log(foo). 

Maybe we can provide some more useful output, such as the objects' functions/variables by default, possibly we can take inspiration from JSON[1] / The NodeJS terminal.
