Virtual extension methods: don't call them defender methods, please

[David Flanagan]

Brian,

I'm not qualified to comment on the technical aspects of this proposal, 
but I did want to point out that the "public defender" metaphor only 
works in the US and if the name "defender method" sticks, it will be a 
mystery to most of the world.

Given that Java is not likely to have both static and virtual extension 
methods, I think these could more simply be called "extension methods".

And given that your proposal points out that they can be used not as 
extensions but as an alternative to abstract classes, an even simpler 
name would be "default methods".

P.S. I'm assuming that my post to lambda-dev will be rejected since I'm 
not a subscriber, so I've cc'ed you directly.
