The second surprise was that Extends works with array types.

FWIW Extends also works with base types like Integer and String.

Instead of using the ever maligned STR function I coded my own version

Function AsText(Extends i as integer, fmt as string = "-0") As string
  return Format(i, fmt)
End Function


and most of the time I just call it like this;

  MsgBox "This is an integer displayed as text: " + MyInteger.AsText


I do the same thing; for instance --

Function StringValue(extends b as Boolean) as String
  if b then
    return "True"
  else
    return "False"
  end if
End Function
