Problem in sub-dependency prevents bundling projects relying on square-nodejs-sdk

[tia-gbenson]

This problem expresses itself in the form of the following runtime error on projects that have been bundled with webpack (as is often useful for reducing package sizes when running a square-dependent project inside an AWS Lambda function):

TypeError: Right-hand side of 'instanceof' is not callable
    at str (***:/node_modules/json-bigint/lib/stringify.js:218:1)
    at Function.module.exports.JSON.stringify (***:/node_modules/json-bigint/lib/stringify.js:380:1)
(...rest of stack trace here...)

The cause for this is this bug in json-bigint, which has been open for over a year. In turn, the root cause of json-bigint's woes is the same root cause as this two-year-old bug, which bignumber.js has indicated an unwillingness to correct.

A workaround is described here, but this often requires that npm's unsafe-perm option be turned on, which is clearly sub-optimal.

If I thought there was any chance that either json-bigint or bignumber.js would correct this, I wouldn't bring it up in this forum. However, since this problem has a very real impact on usage of this library, my hope is that it can be addressed here.

Very well written.
For what it's worth, I am experiencing the exact same difficulty.

I'm facing the same error. Any workaround about this?
