Thanks for doing this! I haven't contributed yet, but it was 
worrisome hearing about various pull requests languishing for 
long periods. Now maybe I should go learn how to use git...

Certainly not. C# has had this syntax since 1.0 (albeit not 
extension methods until v3.0, but IIRC you could always write 
3.ToString() or 3.HashCode and, incidentally, int.Parse("3") etc. 
Ruby has it too (not UFCS per se, but you actually can add 
methods to any class including integers, IIRC)
