Drop the access modifier from the extension itself, because this is only for convenience, which may or may not rule over the members of the extension members. If you’re already explicitly setting the access modifier on the extension members then the convenience access modifier makes no sense.</div><div id="bloop_customfont" style="font-family:Helvetica,Arial;font-size:13px; color: rgba(0,0,0,1.0); margin: 0px; line-height: auto;">2.

But I can’t change the access control of the function to ‘open’,
because I get the warning that the function can’t be “more”
accessible than the extension.

<div class="">And I can’t change the extension’s access to ‘open’
because apparently extensions can’t be open.</div>

<div class="">Now I don’t want to get into a debate about whether
this code works — it’s just an experiment — but is it even possible
to express this idea?? I.e., is it possible to express this idea
without subclassing?<br class="">
