Personally, I don't often encounter the problem that Alexander is describing, but I agree that there are cases when the simplest way to debug a tricky bug is to make a modification to the core. In fact, I used this technique to diagnose [1]. Unless anyone can think of the scenario when the proposed change will break something, I would suggest merging it.
