Is it always possible to convert extensions to members? https://stackoverflow.com/questions/54155416/how-to-convert-an-extension-into-a-member

@hudsonb Can you clarify? What makes extensions "special" in the sense that they can dispatch based on type information that is only available at compile time?

Yeah that's the #1 reason when generics are involved IMHO. There is a good discussion on it here: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/35317940/when-should-one-prefer-kotlin-extension-functions
