Looks pretty functional to me. Plus I think you could almost always use 
"(x=1; break)" to do one-liners if exceptions did turn up.

So is it now official that inject is (going to be) one of the standard 
Ruby methods?

I certainly hope so, but I didn't find it on 
(http://www.rubycentral.com/ref/).
