If you want to modify the default behavior just patch this class. It seems to me (I just had a *quick* look) that it is possible. ;-)
How would we do it so that it did not break backward compatibility? That is how does the class know when we are referring to a node name and when we are referring to an ID?

Hmm, I thought somebody talked about a plugin. ;-)
If implemented in a plugin that means we would leave the default behavior (node name) in the core and support ID by the plugin.
Not if we provide a new class with the same name as one used in core (we could create a new subclass used by the plugin I suppose).
