Thanks!  A few options for extension language enhancements I can think of
off-hand are:

   - Capitalize
   - Pretty Date ( e.g., "yesterday", "an hour ago", "a few seconds ago" )
   - Phone Formatter
   - IP v4 and v6 Formatters

While a few of those can be done with some chaining of the existing
methods, it would be much nicer to handle more cleanly.
