Dear god, I hope this doesn't pass.
I agree, I have conventions in my C++ code where member functions
and free functions shouldn't mix.
But given C++ templates lack of type safety, I'm not surprised
that BS pushes it. It also does not solve "std::begin" issues
better than a method-extension feature would have done.
