Honestly the best bet for migrating from old contrib:

Find the old contrib on github, and just copy the function or 2 that you want.

Anything else is gonna be a frustrating PITA.

Its highly misleading to say that the old contrib was broken up to be
more modular.

The reality is that the function names and signatures are often
totally different. Just switching the namespaces ain't gonna work.
These are basically new libraries, that are thematically similar to
the old ones.

Great for future work, terrible for migration.

Most of the time you are using the contrib for some convenience
function. Its way easier to just copy that function into your own
project, than to worry about tracking down the new library, and then
checking that the function in question is exactly the same as before.
