Lodash always exported to window._ in lodash@^4

[nowells]

It appears that lodash@^4 added the (freeWindow || freeSelf || {})._ = lodash; line to address some AMD issues. However, this seems to have the side effect of always exporting lodash to window._ in our webpack builds. Was this intended? Is there a way to better restrict this fix for the AMD issue by checking for typeof window.define or something?

It appears this was added in 7862ae6

Thanks for your excellent work on lodash, it is as always a wonderful library.

It turns out this issue is due to a Webpack transform that's catered to end users and not libraries, like Lodash, that have AMD support. For the time being, Webpack recommends opting-out of their AMD parsing if you're running into issues.
