Where "careful about what you do" includes "only use this in debugging code or 
non-production instrumentation", sure....

Do *not* ship such shenanigans in production code.   One software update later 
and suddenly the presumptions made about that internal method you are 
replacing/overriding/augmenting are no longer true and *boom*.

(been there, done that, the scars run deep -- seriously, don't ship it that 
way. :)
