This is sort of in the grey area between feature and bug fix.  It does
seem relatively safe, so I would consider taking the patch if there
are no objections from the community.

Added Bruce to the cc list to get his opinion.

No, there is no equivalent of bbappend for classes.

Other solutions are possible, but taking this patch would be the
cleanest solution to your problem.  Let's see what others think before
we go there :-)
