Comment (by johnjamesjacoby):

 Replying to [comment:17 SergeyBiryukov]:
 > I think we tend to add new hooks instead of new pluggable functions, as
 they are much more flexible (see #8833).

 Hard to imagine anything more flexible than dropping in your own version
 of a core function, but I understand what you mean about the general
 consensus of pluggable functions being unreliable in the long-term, and
 how inheriting improvements for free vs. needing to updating pluggable
 and/or drop-ins makes sense.
