Howdy! I'm trying to find an elegant workaround for the `EXTENSION_IN_CLASS_REFERENCE_NOT_ALLOWED` diagnostic. I was hoping that I could declare an extension function as a member of a class, and then reference the function without using reflection. When using reflection, member extension functions show up as functions with the receiver as the first parameter right after the class instance parameter. I would expect this same behavior when references the extension function, but instead get the error `'XXX' is a member and an extension at the same time. References to such elements are not allowed`. Is there some intrinsic problem with supporting this use case, or should I submit a language change proposal?

Here is the output when quickly printing the output of the reflected functions. You can see how close the second `sayHello` function is to the `samplePersonSayHello` function.
