Require.js specify variable instead of path in config

Question

Require.js takes an optional config. Is it possible to map a path to an existing variable?

require.config({
    "paths": {
        "jquery": "../my/path/to/jquery"
    }
});

However, there is a case where I don't actually need jquery but a library thinks it does. So I need to include jquery but it doesn't actually use it. Actually storing the jquery file is bloat. So I want to map require("jquery") to function() {}. Is there any way to do this?

You don't need to set a paths for jquery for what you are trying to do. What you could do is add a fake jQuery module just before your call to require.config:

define('jquery');

This defines a jquery module that has an undefined value. If your premiss that you are using a library that requires jQuery but does not actually use it is true, then this will work.
