Re: #4314
Inspect formats dates in two different ways, depending on
whether it has properties or not.

No properties and it uses toString.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/util.js#L272

The toString() method always returns a string representation of
the date in American English.

While when properties are present it uses toUTCString.
https://github.com/nodejs/node/blob/master/lib/util.js#L393

The format of the return value may vary according to the platform.
The most common return value is a RFC-1123 formatted date stamp,
which is a slightly updated version of RFC-822 date stamps.

I am wondering why two different representations are used?

And being 2015, it would seem sensible to use toISOString.

The toISOString() method returns a string in simplified
extended ISO format (ISO 8601), which is always 24 characters
long: YYYY-MM-DDTHH:mm:ss.sssZ. The timezone is always zero
UTC offset, as denoted by the suffix "Z".

Thanks @Xotic750 ! Just a heads up tho, we have style guidelines for commit logs documented here. If it all possible, it would be helpful if you could update the log but it's possible to fix if/when the PR gets landed also.

@indutny ... thanks for landing... I think for semver-major type things tho we may need to give it a bit more time for review before landing

I didn't realise that there was a specific format for PRs, sorry about that.

It seems like this got landed before the commit message was fixed in fa0442c.

@jasnell gosh when reading "others" I actually read "other". So I thought that you needed just one more LGTM. Sorry!

@ofrobots I have fixed the log before landing it 04af258

@indutny ... unfortunately the log in the landed commit is still incorrect: 04af258 (the log subject is the wrong format)

@rvagg Yes, this was my first commit. I've been using node for some time now, so I guess it's about time I did something useful. Thanks. ;)
