This is possible, but _which_ parties? Do you wish to export internals through an external interface that should now take on the positive blame, so that you don't leak your internals (via module names and such used as blame parties)? This seems to me what you'd want for something like redex, but this requires more work, since you need to change the positive blame. This would require reapplying the contract projection to the original (pre-wrapped) value but different blame parties, which is more expensive and thus should be explicit, or some thought into how to engineer the contract system to make this possible without needing to reapply the projection.
