apply strips Date when applying changes

[lloydh6]

When using apply on two objects, any property that is null on obj1 and a date in obj2 results in the returning value becoming an empty object.

Here is the code that is being run

const obj1 = {
  date: null,
  name: 'first',
};

const obj2 = {
  date: new Date(),
  name: 'first',
};

const result = apply(obj1, obj2); // Result is { date: {}, name: 'first' }

Is it by design that the result of the apply is { date: {}, name: 'first' }?

This lib is for handling JSON and JSON does not specify how dates should be serialized so it's kinda an expected behavior. Maybe it's possible to call "toJSON()" for objects having a serialization specified in JS.
