[Glass] Can I plug a custom transcript proxy for one closure execution?

[Mariano Martinez Peck via Glass]

I think what I need is impossible to do...

btw...* there is no way I can add a symbol dictionary to the symbolList of
the current user but only for the scope of the running gem?*
I know if I don't commit my changes will be only for current session. But
my background processes DO commit and so they would also commit this
change.
