 > Could you provide a more detailed use case? At this point I don't see
 why you couldn't just unhook or overload functions.

 Not every theme is written to become a parent theme. That might mean that
 some functions are not unhookable or overloadable.

 I think the issue here is that this would make the child theme very
 fragile, and too frail for updates to the parent theme. If the parent
 theme isn't coded in such a way to be friendly to child themes, then maybe
 it shouldn't be child-themed. For this, suggest wontfix.
