Deprecate object.inspect for custom inspection #15549

Description

https://nodejs.org/api/util.html#util_custom_inspection_functions_on_objects

The use of obj.inspect as part of inspecting (and therefore console.log) seems to catch people out https://twitter.com/wSokra/status/910070904666943489.

Given that there's a Symbol now, is there a plan to deprecate obj.inspect?
