Well, this could definitely be done, however this does overwrite a few default functions. It does an almost exact imitation of the default behavior, however it also causes the unfortunate side effect that any add-on which modifies damage functions executed before this will break.

Shield power is a yes, thanks!
Yeah, I edited my post on the 'releasing' thing, I think it's already a similar private mod elsewhere.
Thanks for all the help though!
EDIT:
So the mods will break if they modify which functions, exactly?
The best I can figure is that it will break the 'downed' status in Gamemode_Zombie... will it also break Assist Kills/Finished Off Kills?
Port:
Well, for example, it will break the TF2 medigun. Anything which modifies ::damage and is alphabetically sorted before the name of the add-on with the special code.

Ah. Will it be broken by anything that modifies that damage and is sorted after the addon with the code?'
And furthermore, is there a way to, ahem, 'splice' the mods together? I don't mind the medigun, but I want the assistkills and finishedoffkills to still work, so could those edits be added into the code as well to make it all work as one?

Well yes, I suppose you can do that.

Sweet! Then compatibility with other specialkills mods is possible!
I think I saw another mod do that once, if this other mod was on, it would execute itself last and overwrite that mod with a different version with the overwritten mod's functions built in.
