I don't think the two are the same proposal. They have overlap, but they differ significantly. For example, the comment you link suggests that they should still be *methods* and thus inherently namespaced differently, while UFCS is about making *functions* callable using method syntax. Both come with their own unique set of disadvantages and IMO UFCS has a significantly worse tradeoff. That being said, we don't know how to implement parameterized methods either, so the point seems moot. > > I suppose it makes sense to decide on this at the same time as deciding > whether/how to support type parameters for methods. > > >> >> >>> >>> This feature would be useful for defining these pseudo-methods on types >>> within a package or on types from other packages.
