Comment:

 As I said on the wp-hackers list, this is an elegant idea. It's
 essentially the procedural programming eqivalent to being able to call a
 super() function in OOP. Well, sort of :)

 A great way to provide the ability to override functionality, but allowing
 a fallback to the original function when needed, without sacrificing
 forward compatibility.
