lodash 4 overwrites global _ variable even when browserified

[Macil]

Lodash v4 overwrites the global _ variable even when browserified.

This caused issues for me because I have an application which depends on the global _ being Lodash v3, and one of my browserified dependencies updated to depend on Lodash v4 recently.

I see from #1798 that this looks intentional, but I'm still unclear how I can make a module/library like https://github.com/AgentME/contain-by-screen use lodash v4 without having it overwrite the global _.

I can't have my library call _.noConflict() on the Lodash object, because if the application is also using Lodash v4, then require('lodash') in the library will get me the same instance of Lodash that the application is using and unset the global that it might be depending on. (Also, if the library had multiple entry points that could be required, then all of them that required lodash would each have to remember to call _.noConflict().)

Dup of #1798.
