Date() function in DevTools > console doesn't function correctly.

Reported by rao.kenn...@gmail.com, Mar 21 2016 
UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/49.0.2623.87 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. In DevTools console create a custom instance of Date()
2. Example: var today = new Date(2016,01,01)
3. Type today and the console returns the incorrect date. It adds +1 to the month and displays the example as Mon Feb 01 2016. 

What is the expected behavior?
The console should display Jan 01 2016.

What went wrong?
The date function adds an extra month for a custom date. 

Did this work before? N/A

This is a Javascript thing. W3Schools even has a specific note for it:

"JavaScript counts months from 0 to 11. January is 0. December is 11."

One more document which says it's zero-based: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Date
