DataMapper has moved away from core patching (as we too think it's a bad idea). The symbol extensions that monkey patch core are opt-in now for legacy support, and i (amongst others) think it should go away all together. DataMapper's extended key support can also be had through string based keys like "property.matcher" => "value".
