I think commify would probably be better implemented as a filter plugin.
In terms of I18N the way commify acts should probably be different for
different languages and countries.
Is it easy to add virtual methods with a plugin? I haven't really given
it much thought.

It's a nice alternative to splice, and fits nicely with everything else.
I'd say go with it.
What are the actual drawbacks to adding more virtual methods in terms of
bloat.
a) Do we slow things down when we add more virtual methods? By how much?
b) Do we risk name clashes with blessed objects. For example, does
my number class that has it's own "commify" operator risk having
that overridden by the virtual method?
