There is a trick known as method swizzling that lets you replace a
method and call the original implementation.

Basically, you add a method with a new name and have it call itself.
Then you swap (or swizzle) the implementations of the two methods, so
that your method goes by the name of the one you want to replace. When
your method sends a message with the new selector, it will actually
execute the original implementation.
