Personally I'd rather directly use #join - it's short as well and much
clearer what is happening - especially if #register and #summaryse
calls are in separate locations.

I am not sure I understand what this is good for.  Can you provide a
bit more insight?

Why would I want to do that?  Wouldn't it be much shorter to just use
the constant?

Hm...

Generally I would rather implement those directly.  The reason is
simply that this will reduce component dependencies of my applications
by one.  When weighting using an external component (e.g. a gem) vs.
doing it internally the benefit must be higher than the cost for me.
YMMV though.

Kind regards
