Newer Node.js versions export a special symbol that should be used to custom inspect objects. Otherwise the object itself would be poluted. This adds the symbol in the most backwards compatible way possible: it prevents any deprecation message from showing up and behaves just as before. Otherwise the custom inspection will break in Node.js 11.

I am not sure if it is the best way to tackle this, so I did not add any tests.
