#### Summary
Trying to use Axios on Node with your own http(s)Agent set via the global default triggers the error: `TypeError: self.agent.addRequest is not a function`

For minimal example see: https://runkit.com/rupesh/59b1bcc1efc2f800128b7d54

It seems to be related to utils.merge not considering/handling the prototype chain:
