casual_support

Utility methods as extensions to Ruby core objects, a la Active Support.

Also a nod to the epic Facets library, which has a vast quantity and wide variety of utility functions. casual_support distinguishes itself in a few ways:

Focus on fast implementations. See the benchmarks directory for performance comparisons with typical and alternative implementations.
Low memory footprint without required cherry-picking. Cherry-picking is still possible though!
Intended to be used alongside Active Support. Does not clash with Active Support methods, and overrides only a few to provide more performant implementations.
