Consider moving to use Lodash rather than Underscore

There are several places Lodash has functions which Underscore doesn’t which could be used internally, and none the other way around.

E.g. the _.result causing #25 would be _.get in Lodash but Underscore has no equivalent.

Is there a possibility Underscore could be replaced?

^^^ I’m working under the assumption that the remaining lodash dependency size will be smaller than the bundle output by including underscore.

And for existing users, the nice feature here is the bundle internalizes the dependencies in a closure. So it only increases supported environments/sites. This also makes the bundle more immune to library version differences out in the wild.

I just built such a contraption @jdalton (thanks for chiming in, you always seem to hear lodash being uttered anywhere in the universe… It’s like your bat signal; have you ever called lodash your utility belt?)

… ok ok, i know i @ mentioned you

Thanks for the explanation @kofrasa … I’ll PR my webpack/babel script. Then do another PR removing the core of the obviated methods (like you mention each, keys, etc.)
