I feel like this would be a good argument in favour for small scoped packages like we sometimes see on npm. Often enough it turns out that a trivial code snippet like this turns out to be not so trivial after all.

edit:

The point being that you lose all connection with a snippet after you copy+paste it. I can clearly see benefits when you centralize its development, make use of the collective mind to harden it, and get notified about possible updates whenever an edge-case is found.
