### .overwriteProperty(ctx, name, fn)

Overwrites an already existing property getter and provides
access to previous value. Must return function to use as getter.

    utils.overwriteProperty(chai.Assertion.prototype, 'ok', function (_super) {
        return function () {
            var obj = utils.flag(this, 'object');
            if (obj instanceof Foo) {
                new chai.Assertion(obj.name).to.equal('bar');
            } else {
                _super.call(this);
            }
        }
    });

Can also be accessed directly from `chai.Assertion`.

    chai.Assertion.overwriteProperty('foo', fn);

Then can be used as any other assertion.

    expect(myFoo).to.be.ok;

@param {object} ctx object whose property is to be overwritten
