Stop adding methods to Symbol just to make your DSL look pretty!

I remember the first time I saw Datamapper.

I liked saying “:something.gt something_else”.

It was pretty.

But after a while I realised it wasn’t necessary.

So why are we still building APIs that involve extending Symbol?

I saw this on an extension called Plucky for MongoMapper
