C# 14 - Static methods in extension members with same name and parameter types

[otomad]

I'm using C# 14 new extension members syntax, the documentation says we can extend static methods now. However, I found that if two static method with same name and parameter types but extend different types, they will conflict.

public static class Extensions
{
    extension(System.Windows.Media.Color color)
    {
        public static System.Windows.Media.Color FromHex(string hex) { /* implementation */ }
    }

    extension(System.Drawing.Color color)
    {
        public static System.Drawing.Color FromHex(string hex) { /* implementation */ }
    }
}

The two static methods have same name and parameter types, but they extend different types. It complain that "Type 'Extensions' already defines a member called 'FromHex' with the same parameter types".

I think these two methods with the same name should be compiled into methods with different names, and can be automatically redirected to the corresponding methods when called from other places.

They are intentionally compiled into plain methods to support explicit invocation and compatibility with traditional extension methods.
