require is not a function

[ekkis]

fstream relies on graceful-fs, which itself relies on natives, the latter which is broken with the following error:

/webpack:/node_modules/natives/index.js:45
    whitelist.forEach(function (id) {
^
TypeError: require is not a function
    at /webpack:/node_modules/natives/index.js:50:1
    at Array.forEach (<anonymous>)
    at Object.req [as require] (/webpack:/node_modules/natives/index.js:45:1)

I've posted an issue on the graceful-fs board asking them to fix it: isaacs/node-graceful-fs#156 but I'm wondering if this module has a good reason to be using graceful-fs or it could rely instead on the built-in (and therefore very well tested) fs, which has better sense than to use a clearly unreliable package like 'natives'
