Defining global object in vite config breaks any imports with global in their name

[jsakas]

Describe the bug

If I add something like this in my Vite config:

// vite.config.js
export default {
  define: {
    global: {},
  },
};

And also have some imports with global in the name like:

import { globalReducer } from './global-reducer'

The build process fails with this error message:

Could not resolve "./{}-reducer" from "main.js"

This only happens in vite build, not during development.

I should add that the reason we even added global: {} was because we are receiving this error:

index.js:19 Uncaught ReferenceError: global is not defined

    at ../../node_modules/global-cache/index.js (index.js:29:13)

    at ../../node_modules/react-dates/lib/utils/registerCSSInterfaceWithDefaultTheme.js

Due to the dependency tree of react-dates -> react-with-styles-interface-css -> global-cache.

Further digging, I guess this is warned against in the docs... https://vitejs.dev/config/shared-options.html#define
