This does make sense. Either an extension has precedence over class methods or it does not; having extension methods in the middle of statically defined methods and __call would likely do more harm than good. > On 11 Aug 2022, at 00:30, Rowan Tommins <rowan.coll...@gmail.com> wrote: > > I suppose a related question is whether __call itself could be implemented by > an extension method. I would suggest no, to keep things simpler. I agree. I can’t think of a magic method that should be allowed to be defined as an extension method. None of them make sense. > On 11 Aug 2022, at 00:30, Rowan Tommins <rowan.coll...@gmail.com> wrote: > > (Aside: Reminder that convention on this list is to "bottom-post": quote the > part of message you're replying to, then add your text below.)
