Extension methods and API evolution

[Paul Benedict]

As far as I am concerned, the only sensible use of extension methods
are use-site extensions. If only the author of a class can dictate
which methods can be extended (declaration-site style), the whole idea
is defeated. I wouldn't mind discussing other declaration-site
options, but the current proposal requires wild augmentation to the
interface mechanism that I don't support.
