That'd be workable syntax.

class Array
  alias old_map map
  def map(*args)
    if args.length > 0
      return self.map {|item| item.send args.first}.map *args[1..-1]
    else
      return self.old_map
    end
  end
end

This would allow:
people.map :fullname, :split

as the equivalent of:
people.map {|p| p.fullname}.map {|n| n.split}

Oh so much fun :)
