Simularly, fusing pressure data with GPS altitude data could work the same

pressure change and can be canceled by the long term stability of the GPS
signal making the pressure signal more useful in detecting airspace
incursions. *(Think automatic Kollsman settings.)

Which, interestingly, is exactly what the $200 Garmins with Pressure
Sensor do!
