// static Blah Foo<T>(this Bar<T> bar, Func<T, T> f){ ... }

// What we would like to know is: given _only_ the expression x, can we infer

// we can provisionally consider Foo to be an extension method of x. If we

// extension method of x, at least until we have more information.
//
// Clearly it is pointless to run multiple phases
