How to write a function reference (like someInstance::someFun) but where the function has a receiver?

[Shawn]

What do you mean? are you trying to reference an extension function?

[Mark]

Yes, a function like fun OtherClass.someFun() defined in some class SomeClass.

[arekolek]

References to extension functions that are members of a class are not allowed.

It would work if you moved it to top-level.

Thanks. Out of interest, is there anything in the docs that mentions this?

[Derek Berner]

Is there a reason for this other than the type syntax would be fugly?
