> In our application, we have a requirement to extend GadgetSpec so that we can
> parse a custom namespace on the gadget XML that provides extra information to
> the spec about (e.g.) validation of UserPrefs.
> Unfortunately, it isn't possible to directly extend GadgetSpec at the moment,
> because the substitute() method creates a new instance of the GadgetSpec (not
> the extended class). It isn't possible to extend the substitute() method
> because it calls a private constructor and sets private fields on GadgetSpec
> that can't be set from a subclass.
