Why not? I haven't actually tried it, but it seems like a
pretty easy problem, except perhaps with complex templates.

There's the bigger problem that extending a type via UFCS is
'open'; there can always be more functions where the first
parameter accepts that type you're using.
With a dedicated syntax, specific functions/groups-of-functions
could be easily recognized as extensions of a type and could even
be made to be recognized by templates (when the type is passed as
type parameter or alias param) even though they're not in its
definition. Kinda like type classes.
But, anyway...
