I think so, but this would need to be verified. A lot depends on
how/where Emacs does things - for example, because Emacspeak relies on
the advice mechanism, it cannot pickup changes/actions which occur in
pure C code. Provided Emacspeak is able to get the prompt in some
before, after or around advice call, all should be fine.
