It does say it's possible to do though.
>From a bit of testing, it appears you're pretty much in the clear if you
save the former value first, and restore it again *before* returning *or*
making any calls. That doesn't, however, mean this will still be true in
future revisions, so I highly advise against it unless you're doing
something like making a hack to work around the absolute tool (classes are
just special tools) path problem... (:
