Fabric.js is incompatible with Require.js

[orientalperil]

I am using Require.js in my project and discovered that Fabric.js is not compatible with it. Fabric.js uses the function require() (from Node.js I assume) to load dependencies. Require.js also use a function called require() for something similar. These are different functions whose names are the same and are thus clashing. Effectively this means that Fabric.js cannot be loaded using Require.js

This is the bit of code where I found an error is logged if you attempt to load Fabric.js using Require.js. From https://github.com/kangax/fabric.js/blob/v1.1.0/src/object.class.js#L17

  var Image = global.Image;
  try {
    var NodeImage = (typeof require !== 'undefined') && require('canvas').Image;
    if (NodeImage) {
      Image = NodeImage;
    }
  }
  catch(err) {
    fabric.log(err);
  }

Is there any way around this kind of name clashing?
