 Thanks.  New patch uploaded.

 I realized you want to prevent the processing done in WP_Rewrite
 altogether.

 Exactly.  Actually, I do want to ''optionally'' run the processing done in
 `WP_Rewrite` but only after I get a chance to decide if I want to handle
 it instead.

 My patch is probably not be the cleanest way to enable allowing someone to
 insert processing before `$wp->parse_request()` with the option of clling
 `$wp->parse_request()` if no custom URL matches, but I implemented the way
 I did because it was the smallest change I could envision making that
 could work.  I figured that if the idea gets traction then others would be
 able to suggest a more preferable approach.
