Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 This might be a good stop gap, but our thinking about JS as a whole needs
 a reboot. There is a systemic problem of relying on global scope
 everywhere all over WordPress JS code.

 We should really switch to using dependency injection via RequireJS or
 something similar. The NYTimes used a similar stopgap measure to prevent
 stomping - currently uses an `NYTD.jQuery` object equal to the first
 `jQuery` object on the page - great, right? Doesn't stop other code from
 loading jQuery 3-4 times elsewhere (+ 2 Prototypes + a Scriptaculous or
 2). When using AMD + dependency injection, global scope never matters, so
 stomping is rarely possible.
