But you can if you're willing to hack things a little bit, surely?
Possibly even without hacking -- IIRC there are some things that are
supposed to be subclassed in there, aren't there?  I don't remember the
details now, but I think that subclassing the compiler class will do it,
or possibly customize_compiler()...?  Neither are the proper ways, if any
exist, I'm sure.  From the point of view of saving time, of course, this
isn't ideal.
