Hi,
Just noticed that using UFCS does not work for nested functions, and
was wondering whether that's intended, and what the rationale behind
it is:
I just had the same question.
I can imagine that the context pointer of nested functions complicates
things, but making `bar` `static` does not help. Has anything changed in
recent years regarding the difficulty of implementing UFCS for nested
functions? Would it be easier to only support static nested functions?
```
void main() {
static void bar(int x) {}
int x;
x.bar(); // Error: no property 'bar' for type 'int'
}
```
It's never been supported, and likely will not be. I think the idea is
that you can override expected behavior inside by accidentally defining
some function locally with the same name.
