How does this work? Symfony notices that your class uses a Twig attribute
and so *automatically* registers it as a Twig extension. This is called autoconfiguration,
and it works for *many* many things. Create a class and then extend a base class
(or implement an interface). Symfony takes care of the rest.

.. versionadded:: 7.3

Support for the ``#[AsTwigFilter]`` and ``#[AsTwigFunction]`` attributes was introduced in Symfony 7.3.
Previously, you had to extend the ``AbstractExtension`` class, and override the
``getFilters()`` and ``getFunctions()`` methods.

When using autoconfiguration, the tag ``twig.attribute_extension`` is added automatically
when a Twig attribute is used on a method of a class. Otherwise, when autoconfiguration is not enabled,
it needs to be added in the service definition.
