This patch adds the possibility to replace api .inc files without patching the base system, the same as for cache_inc, but for all of the inc files included from bootstrap -not for the admin part, not sure about this though

It is quite simple and straight forward and would provide 'cheap' unlimited flexibility for developers.

Implementing this would be horrible for debugging since people will have different core files. These files are expected to be whet they are. This is not a parallel to caching where there are a few different ways to implement a cache, which we should be able to choose from. Chosing our core APIs makes much less sense.
