reg.finalizer(..., add=FALSE)?

Is it possible to (i) clear or (ii) override already registered finalizer functions, e.g. reg.finalizer(e, f, add=FALSE) cf. on.exit(..., add=FALSE)?
No, but you can have the finalizer function call something else, and change the thing it calls. E.g. reg.finalizer(env, function (...) CleanUp(...)) will call CleanUp in the global environment (the environment of the anonymous finalizer); change that function and the cleanup behaviour will change. Duncan Murdoch
Currently:
env <- new.env()
reg.finalizer(env, function(...) cat("Finalizer A!\n"))
NULL
reg.finalizer(env, function(...) cat("Finalizer B!\n"))
NULL
reg.finalizer(env, function(...) cat("Finalizer C!\n"))
NULL

I wish to have only finalizer "C" to run.
