Is there a way to customise math.sqrt(x) for some x?

There seem to be only three methods that can be customized:

$ grep 'LookupSpecial' mathmodule.c
    method = _PyObject_LookupSpecial(number, "__ceil__", &ceil_str);
    method = _PyObject_LookupSpecial(number, "__floor__", &floor_str);
    trunc = _PyObject_LookupSpecial(number, "__trunc__", &trunc_str);
