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...

As far as I'm concerned, 3.minutes() is a prime example of

UFCS can be very useful, but oh how I hate that syntax
(completely aside from
the particular function being called, I think that 3.anything()
is horrible).
But obviously not everyone agrees.
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)
