Is there a way to create static extension function to existing class?

[Xavier F. Gouchet]

Out of curiosity, what would be the purpose of creating a static extension function?

Doesn't pollute the autocompletion and works with classes not under your control

Just remember that if the class isn't under your control, it has to have a Companion defined already, or this won't compile.

stdlib classes all do AFAIK.
