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.
