The last fset will not be executed if the ad-do-it signals an error (or is
interrupted with C-g, ...). To protect against such eventualities, you want
to use unwind-protect.
An alternative is to use (require 'cl) and then
(defadvice la-fonction
(around la-fonction-extended enable compile)
"Documentation"
(flet ((read-minibuffer my-read-minibuffer))
ad-do-it))
it does the same as what you did (except it uses unwind-protect), tho.
In general, I don't think there's a better way. I would argue that if you
need to use such an ugly hack, you should only be morally allowed to do that
after sending a patch that will make it unnecessary in the future.
I.e. please try and send a patch that makes this hack unnecessary.
You can then use this hack, knowing that it's only a temporary workaround
until your patch is accepted and/or in widespread use.
