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".

Cheers,
