I think JavaScript's "with" means something slightly different.  I
don't remember about Ruby.

But as Stephen pointed out, this is only useful when the methods (or
functions) have side-effects -- their return values are thrown away.
This explains the use of "do" in the original name, and is a good
reason to keep "do" in the new name.

I don't see much wrong with "doto->", though "do-with" or "do->" might
be okay.  I'd probably vote against "do-unto-others-as"
