The protobuf.Timestamp should turn to Date when call toObject ?

[lawrsp]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I'm always frustrated when I use node as a interface gateway, it call the backend with grpc, and reply to the client with json,
call message.toObject() always get the { seconds: XXX, nanos: XXXX} object with timestamp.
A standard json timestamp should be like "2017-05-04 T00:20:30Z", which is a javascript Date Object turned to be.

Describe the solution you'd like

we should change the protobuf.Timestamp.toObject() function to some like the toDate() function

I don't think this feature request fits into this repository however. This belongs to either protobuf or protobufjs, I believe.

If you are using grpc.load or otherwise explicitly using the protobufjs package, you should file this issue with https://github.com/dcodeIO/protobuf.js. If you are using the google-protobuf package, you should file this issue with https://github.com/google/protobuf.
