Good one. I changed that line only minutes before you read it, as it 
used to say overriding *was* possible (which it isn't in the current 
implementation). I'll go and change this, although we should probably 
stick a big fat warning on this kind of thing: we don't want extensions 
to change a core API module's interface too drastically.
