perhaps there are (atleast) 2 possibilities?
1 writing ones own module, that calls the standard module for most things.
2 replacing the standard module. reimplementing all the things that are good 
enough.

which one of the two are you considering?

to help with 2 it would be nice with something like this (from scheme):

> (define builtin_display display)
> (define display
	(lambda (arg)
		(builtin_display "all mine")
		(newline)
		(builtin_display arg)
		(newline)))
> (display 'asd)
all mine
asd
