Patches get silently overridden on package update / native compilation

[sebmiq]

Hi,

A few of my patches keep getting silently overridden, I assume because the original definition is reevaluated by native compilation.

Using advice as suggested in #60 would be one way to fix this, perhaps.

Yes, that's a known issue. There are reasons to stick to the existing way of doing things, as mentioned in #60 (comment), but I suppose it would not be a bad idea to at least make it customizable whether the user would prefer for functions to be patched using advice rather than being overwritten.

See #63 for a possible implementation and further discussion on the pitfalls of advising.
