[aosd-discuss] Extension methods in C# 3

[Eric Bodden]

Hi everybody.

I just read about this new mechanism they call "extension methods" in C# 3 [1]. When I saw them first, I thought "hmmm, that looks a lot like ITDs...". So does anybody already have looked at extension methods and could confirm or confute my suspicion that they are intended to be the C# version of intertype declarations?

Cheers,
Eric
