How about something like this?

module Enumerable
  def each_send(methodName)
    self.each { |e| e.send(methodName) if e.respond_to?(methodName) }
  end
end

array = [1, "two\n", "three"]
array.each_send(:chomp!)
p array  # => [1, "two", "three"]

Yesyesyes!

Python people keep asking me why I'm so excited about Ruby's ability
to add methods to existing classes. (It's possible in Python, but ugly
and frowned-upon.) *This* is why. I want to see a big collection of
all the methods that people have added to the built-in Ruby classes. I
want to look over them and take the ones that look cool and play with
them myself and improve them if I can. And then I want to see the
really good ones make it back into the standard library.
