Customize DataServiceClientGenerator output

Question

Is it possible to modify the DataServiceClientGenerator to use a custom class inherited from DataServicesCollection instead of the default DataServicesCollectionClass?  My project currently extends the DataServicesClass and instead of going back and changing the generated Reference file each time an update is made in the Service definition I would like to modify the DataServiceClientGenerator to use my custom classes.

Ha, so close.  One of these days I am just going to have to bite the bullet and start working in C#.  In the mean time do you have a VB version you want tested ;-)
