   That's exactly what we have in (extended) logic programs.
   But it's no longer classical logic!
Bingo.
This is a very odd argument to listen to, where the parties seem to be
saying:
  A: It's not classical logic.
  B: Nonsense!  It's *not* classical logic.
  A: Get out of here!  It's not *classical* logic!!
  B: No way!  It's not classical logic!
I believe everyone is in agreement that allowing arbitrary new
inference rules takes us beyond the realm of classical logic.  So
there's nothing left to argue about.  (I hope.)
