Spawned from Bug 24623:

> In general we should avoid monkey patching. 1) A specification may not be aware  
> of the patches being applied and invalidate them. 2) Readers of a specification 
> may not be aware of the patches being applied and write code that turns out to  
> be wrong due to patches. 3) If patches start getting applied from multiple
> sources the mental model quickly becomes too hard and mistakes start creeping 
>in all over.

We have some for now. This is a master bug to track these to be removed.
