Well, it may be possible to override a few functions but certainly not
all of them from the file. The earliest I see it's possible to make
Emacs to load an el file would be done by `emacs -q -l my-override.el`,
but that implies that Emacs has processed command line args, whereas
command-line processing is exactly the part of `startup.el` file that I
want to override.
