Dear Group

Is it in general possible to redefine mathematica builtins but still call the original function from within (but not only from there) the redefinition ?

In particular I would like to overload a builtin (distinguished by an additional Option additionalopt->o) and keep the possibility to call the original (distinguished by omitting the additional Option or
by setting additionalopt->None)

Regards Robert
