Problem of defender methods with generic methods

[Howard Lovatt]

@Ali,

The best way to do this is to introduce an extra interface as you have
suggested, you need to encode the information in a type (hence you
need an extra type). Unfortunately you don't like this solution.
However I think this is a good solution consistent with the rest of
Java and in particular the concept of interfaces and I am therefore
happy to see the proposed behaviour for extension methods.
