Extension vs defender methods

[Brian Goetz]

Slight correction on the terminology front, both are 'extension' methods.  There are a few axes of choice -- use-site vs declaration-site, virtual vs static.  

C# chose (use site, static) extension methods; we've chosen (declaration site, virtual) extension methods.
