 Argh. I swear that there was a ! there when I wrote it!

 > Although I intentionally prevented the hook from replacing the Magpie
 class, I'm open to arguments for why it should be able to do so.  The best
 argument that comes to mind is a reduction of the amount of PHP code that
 has to be parsed... is there another?

 Seems like enough to me. There's a huge amount of code there that is
 essentially useless if you're writing a plugin to replace it. All of the
 rss.php, all of the Snoopy stuff, etc. I mean, with the current codebase
 (2.2.1) I dropped my replacement code over the file entirely instead of
 using a plugin method, if you're replacing those functions, there's no
 reason to keep the old stuff.
