Please can the team add static extension methods.
I cannot find a single good reason for their exclusion once we have accepted the concept of extension methods on instances.
The topic keeps popping up and it is about time the .NET team put this firmly on the feature backlog.
It seems that the .NET team, to some degree, have got carried away with 'development for the sake of development' without reviewing whats really useful to programmers. They've stopped implementing features that help developers, Await / Async, TPL, stack frame
hacking... its all great stuff but don't forget the more mundane and essential aspects of coding.
Static extensions are a natural and elegant solution to a number of coding problems and should not be ignored by the .NET team.
