Hey, hey, easy with the language. I'm sure DHH would agree, were
shooting for a good bit more that "hacking" ;-)

But I take your point, I had tried using a separate class
(Enumerable::Elementor), but it meant using a #to_elem (eg.
[1,2,3].to_elem(:select) > 2) which largely killed the effect. Unless
someone has better ideas for achieving R-like operations, adding
method_missing to Enumerator seems like the best bet. I'll make it as
an add-on library of Facets.

Thanks,
T.
