Comment (by dd32):

 Is wrapping with `function_exists()` actually compatible? Wouldn't this
 cause any sites to loose translations if other-project didn't support the
 WordPress translations? Shouldn't Laravel wrap it in `function_exists()`
 as well? (and loose translation support if imported into WordPress) etc.
