How do I use an extension function that's nested in an object from outside that object? i.e.

object Example {
    fun String.exampleExtension() {
    }
}

fun test(str: String) {
    str.exampleExtension() // Doesn't work. How can I use the extension function?
}

simplest way:

with(Example) {
  str.exampleExtension()
}

[Shawn]

but passing Example to any function that takes T.() -> * will work, like apply

[Shawn]

also might be able to do a “static” import™

[Shawn]

don’t quote me on that one though

works perfectly. Thanks!
