Latest draft of Defender Methods

[Paul Benedict]

Brian,

I believe the need for the "extension" keyword is superfluous. Correct me if
wrong, but you don't actually need an existing interface to use defender
methods, right? I create a brand new interface with all default
implementations provided? If so, then I put forth my opinion to remove the
keyword. The use of "default" is enough -- the use of "extension" implies a
use case that's not necessarily true: I don't need to augment an existing
interface to add default methods.
