Why not make it possible to give different values of minimum-length right
when you do the basic override?  Perhaps minimum-length could be a pair,
one number giving the non-broken value, another giving the broken.
Or--less intrusive--there could be a property alongside it which acted on a
broken object,  I think that would be pretty easy to implement.
