Hi,
wondering if I can have anonymous/named extension function like following

val x = fun Int.() { this.toString() }
1.x()

can be 'x' defined as anonymous/named extension property ?
so I could have

1.x

?

You would define it on Any if you want it available on everything. But remember that this will add to the namespace/help for everything.

fun Any.x() { this.toString() }

well, isn't it same as my 1st example ?

basically i'm looking for

fun test() {
  val x = fun Int.() { this.toString() }
  1.x()
  val y = //?
  1.y
}

in class I'd have easily something like

class Test {
    val Int.y get() = toString()

    fun test() {            
        val x = fun Int.() { this.toString() }
        1.x()
        1.y 
    }
}

But looking if there is away to define it in the scope of the 'test' function

local extension properties are explicitly disallowed
