How to extend the Javascript Date object?

Question

I\'m trying to subclass/extend the native Date object, without modifying the native object itself.

I\'ve tried this:

    var util = require(\'util\')

I know this is a bit late, but for others who may encounter this issue, I manged to effectively subclass Date for a polyfill I needed for PhantomJS. The technique seems to work in other browser as well. There were a few additional issues to work out but essentially I followed the same approach as Rudu.
