If internal code will eventually provide such functionality, that's fine, but even then, why close the door on other possible extensions? There's no need to spend our time on it. People playing with such interfaces easily redefine a function to make it call their code. We do not need an elegant mechanism. I don't want to spend time thinking about it.
