babel: Modules depending on Babylon cannot be Browserified, failing with "Cannot find module './parser'" (T6930)

The workaround I’m using is npm shrinkwrap:

1. Install all your deps
2. Run npm shrinkwrap
3. Edit npm-shrinkwrap.json so that you lock babylon to a working version (I found 6.3.26 to work). For example, by changing all instances of babylon requires to something like this:

    "babylon": {
      "version": "6.3.26",
      "from": "babylon@6.3.26",
      "resolved": "http://registry.npmjs.org/babylon/-/babylon-6.3.26.tgz"
    },

1. Delete your node_modules folder
2. npm install

Now you should have a locked version of babylon at 6.3.26 no matter how deep the dependency goes.

Note that you’re messing with the expected versions deep in your require tree - this could have unexpected consequences!
