With regard to my original patch, are there any other things that I

Oops, saw this too late.

I can't really think of anything that would really make me think it
gets much better - by way of how it works we'd have to put code into
every single place using this data, and I can't think of a way to
abstract that out easily.

Perhaps if you can find a way to have some kind of "accessor functions"
that would do the overrides, but I don't really see how that'd be
possible.
