It would certainly be possible, and seems more logical than allowing
extensions to over-ride __call but not anything else. It does lead to a
very different feature, though: it means t

Thanks for explaining it better than I did.
Regarding the implementation, that was roughly what I was thinking.
But can't we put extension methods second, after real methods but before
__call? As far as I understand, the reason to put it after __call is to
avoid a performance penalty on __call ca

Sorry, replying to all this time :)
I've missed to pinpoint an important fact: extensions don't add methods to
types per-say, rather they allow using them when imported. Extension's
methods would never be called if the extension isn't imported, which is
different from monkey-patching and runkit, w
