[poppler] Is it acceptable if vcpkg patches in an inline namespace to avoid symbol clashes?

Hello Poppler maintainers!
I'm reviewing a PR from a contributor to vcpkg which introduces an inline namespace when we install Poppler to avoid conflicts with other bits that want the name 'Parser'. See https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg/pull/35472
We understand that you might not want to merge this as an upstream contribution since it's a workaround for something downstream of you. We still would like to make sure you won't hate us / think we're putting words in your mouth if we go ahead with it.
Can someone take a look and indicate that they don't outright hate this workaround?
Thanks!
