It looks like Extlib is being included specifically for its string transformations API. Inflecto is a smaller Gem which provides the same functionality and means that the whole of Extlib doesn’t need to be loaded to get a small subset of features.
Another consequence is that there’s no monkeypatching of the core string class.
Warning: I need to test this more thoroughly to confirm that it works. Just want to get feedback on whether this is a good idea or not.
