Well, if I wanted to hack the code, lots of things would be easy...
but I was thinking of "some codified thing that lets an admin do
customization things" rather than "unsupported code hacks".
I was probing whether or not others thought there was a need;
primarily you.

If we're talking about custom pipeline modules, we're talking about
Python coders, so that's not a horrible thing, but: since modules
are already so separate, it would be useful, perhaps, to have
some sort of "insert this into the pipeline" mechanism that is
also separate and robust wrt changes like GLOBAL_PIPELINE changes.

I suppose subclassing isn't so bad, but it's a bit heavier
mechanism than I was thinking...but that may just be a function of
me thinking like a procedural programmer.  :)
