Is there a method I can override on a JavaScript object to control what is displayed by console.log?

I'm thinking in particular of Chrome, though Firebug would be interesting to. I've tried toString() and valueOf(), but neither of those seem to be used. Interestingly, if I take a function it'll display the function definition - but then if I add a toString() method it will show null!
var a = function(){};
console.log(a); // output: function (){}
a.toString = function(){ return 'a'; };
console.log(a); // output: null
a.valueOf = function(){ return 'v'; };
console.log(a); // output: null
Any ideas?
