I would probably just send #asString to the symbols vs. adding the new method. I agree that returning an instance of the same class is the correct behavior.

Terry Raymond: RE: Symbol>>capitalized?
I would not recommend this. Normally, one would expect that a transformation like #capitalized would return an object of the same class. It would make more sense to define #asCapitalizedString and change the code to use it.
