Running multiple versions of the same code.  Say you're writing an
extension for Drupal and you want to use a nifty new feature of the newly
released Twig 4.  Under the current system you're outta luck until the
Drupal project moves to 4, and that might take awhile, ESPECIALLY if 4 has
BC breaks.

You can monkey type the twig files with something like
the brianhenryie/strauss package for WordPress, programmatically changing
the namespace declaration of every file in the package to something of your
choosing, but that feels a bit hackish at best.
