Re: [Vala] About method overloading, constructor overloading and extension methods

[Luca Bruno <lethalman88 gmail com>]

I'm all for extension methods, as long as they don't require too much
syntax, it's simple, there's as little magic as possible, don't break
things and are not invasive in the compiler.
Basically, we haven't decided the syntax yet.
In my opinion it should be as simple as this:

extend SomeClassName {
  public void foo () { }
}
