Ah; sorry I misunderstood your aim.  

I don't like doing this heavy-handed sort of rewriting, but the magic
keyword is "masquerade".  masquerade_classes, masquerade_domains, and
masquerade_exceptions give you a number of options.  I don't see any
way to be quite as sweeping as you're describing, but in my opinion
that's a good thing.
