rename _.nw

[breadbaker]

this pr was opened a year ago:

#237

relying on _ not to be touched is dangerous and its breaks in my use case.

can we rename nwUtils to avoid this conflict or suggest a better path forward.

we want to continue to use contour, and not have to work on a stale version nor constantly have to merge diverged branches.

Thanks for this (and hi Dan!). We're exploring removing the lodash dependency from contour entirely in the next month or so. That'll make this redundant, so I'll keep this open for a while until we explore that further.

Out of curiosity, what browsers do you need to support for projects using this?

[breadbaker]

Ok that sounds good.

Its not about browser, its about the globally name spaced lodash being redefined somewhere and eliminating the extensions made to it when Contour initialized.

[narenranjit]

I asked about Browser support because removing the lodash dependency will probably mean reducing the supported browser list, so if you use IE8 for instance it probably won't help you much :)

[breadbaker]

Honestly I'd forgotten IE8 existed.
