Yes, but it's highly discouraged. If you tell us why you want to do it, we
may be able to point to a better way to get what you want.

I think it is discouraged because it *will* break things in the standard
library and builtins. It's discouraged in the same way that pouring sugar
into the petrol tank of your car is discouraged.

Mythbusters have tested this urban legend. In their test the engine run
better with sugar. [1]
