     Example:
         ```python
-        with temporary_modules({'old.module.path': 'new.module.path'}):

         The changes are only in effect inside the context manager and are undone once the context manager exits.
         Be aware that directly manipulating `sys.modules` can lead to unpredictable results, especially in larger
         applications or libraries. Use this function with caution.
