Is it possible to globally replace `require` in Node?

Question

If I want to make a function that intercepts all require calls in the entire Node process (even those made from dependencies), is this possible?

You could redefine the require function on the global object at the start of the process like so:

global.require = function(...) {};

As of NodeJS v7.2.0, this appears not to be working.
