I wouldn't minding being able to override any module mapping. Your
(Pierce's) example is very reasonable. A more general example might be
a CMS module that you want to deploy for several clients. It includes
a complete working site but needs to be tweaked a bit for clients.
Perhaps there is a Login component that you want to extend without
having to recreate all the pages that include the component.
As an aside: For your extended pages you can add a link transformer so
that links pointing to the old page are redirected to the extended
page...
