How to override moment.js locale formatting in version 2.10.x, worked in 2.8.x

Question

I was using "internal" moment.js API to override formatting of current locale - namely disabling arabic number symbols. So instead of ١١ أيلول سبتمبر ٢٠١٥ ١٩:٥٣ I would have 11 سبتمبر/ أيلول 2015 19:53

But after upgrading to v 2.10.x, this internal hack broke and I cannot find how to hook into moment and override this

moment.locale("ar");
moment._locale.postformat = function (input) { return input; };
document.write(moment().format("LLL"));

v2.8.x http://jsbin.com/faziyu/3/edit?html,js,console,output

v2.10.x http://jsbin.com/faziyu/4/edit?html,js,console,output

"TypeError: Cannot set property 'postformat' of undefined

Thanks for help in advance :)

I know the question is old but coming across in in my project. Just use moment()._locale with brackets to access the internal _locale property.

v2.18.1: http://jsbin.com/comosidida/embed

moment.locale("ar");
moment()._locale.postformat = function (string) { return string; }; // jshint ignore:line
document.write(moment().format("LLL"));

Note: There is a little difference in print between both version coming from moment.js.
