Underscore dependency about ampersand-router HOT 4 CLOSED

How about moving to specific lodash modules?
Instead of requireing whole underscore, we could just require necessary functions:

var _ = {
    extend: require('lodash.extend'),
    isRegExp: require('lodash.isregexp'),
    isFunction: require('lodash.isfunction'),
    result: require('lodash.result')
};

or

var _extend = require('lodash.extend');
var _isRegExp = require('lodash.isregexp');
var _isFunction = require('lodash.isfunction');
var _result = require('lodash.result');

or even leverage something like https://github.com/lukekarrys/lodash-replacer.

from ampersand-router.

The advantage of a single module is that it is easier to install; Browserify does only include the used files so the the end result should be the same.

lodash-replacer looks interesting, but since it requires some effort to configure, most users probably won't use it and end up with the full underscore in their apps.

lodash-cli looks really interesting, it can be used to generate a modular lodash build that puts each function in its own file and supports CommonJS.

We will be tracking the removal of underscore here AmpersandJS/ampersand#36
