FWIW I still prefer my option as an extra way of doing it; its
particularly useful for writing a whole bunch of new methods on
multiple types in a single simple class; but see the attraction of the
other method too.
I did try using your approach but it only seems to work for the end
class, not any base classes. I basically wanted to add methods to base
classes (e.g. think of adding methods to java.lang.Object). So I still
think there's merit in my approach as well.
