outside of Java, I suppose

You end up needing to do:

Extlib::String.constantize(Extlib::String.to_path(Extlib::String.underscore(str)))

instead of:

str.underscore.to_path.constantize

Honestly, we tried this in DataMapper for a while, but it
got too bulky to be realistic (outside of Java, I suppose).

我真的很不懂 Java 串一堆 class 到底是所為何來？
我明白這樣彈性大，但弄個 wrapper 有那麼難嗎？
或許這裡也是吧。應該用：

Extlib::String.underscore_to_path_constantize(str)

當然問題就變成你要定義一堆 method. 或許：

Extlib::String.wrap(str).underscore.to_path.constantize.process

wrap 會把接下來的 method 做成 queue, 然後 process 時依序執行。
總之真的拜託就是不要輕易動到 core class :(
monkey patch is a dead end...
