   Yesterday, I thought I’d implement internal support for logging in Kitten to improve the experience of viewing/filtering logs. I didn’t want to create separate log methods, etc., so I thought I’d monkeypatch the global console object and keep a subset of logs in the internal database (wouldn’t it be nice if console.log, etc., returned the value they were outputting so they could be extended? Alas…)

   Anyway, built it but decided against it in the end because it was too heavy a feature to add…

     …but in case any of you want to do something similar, here’s me mocking a WritableStream using a Proxy to provide mock stdout and stderr streams to Console instances to capture the output and save them in my database:

     And here’s the actual monkeypatching code:
