```
**Notes:**
* Dont assign values to [special variable](http://nodejs.org/api/repl.html#repl_repl_features) `_` when in the REPL
* If Lo-Dash is installed globally, run [`npm link lodash`](http://blog.nodejs.org/2011/03/23/npm-1-0-global-vs-local-installation/) in your projects root directory before requiring it
* Node.js 0.10.8-0.10.11 [have](https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/5622) [bugs](https://github.com/joyent/node/issues/5688) preventing minified builds
