This is a good point, and after a lot of thought I could probably do what I want without messing with the symbol table by modifying a dispatch table. I do have dispatch tables in my handler but they are currently private. I'd have to make them global and change all the internal calls in my modules to reference them.

Unfortunately that's not something I have time to do at the moment as I'm supposed to be done with the project this week (and even that's not looking good at the moment :) ). I'm hoping there's an easier way.
