C# 14 touted for extension properties declaration

"In a November 17 blog post, Microsoft introduced introduced C# 14, the latest update to the company's popular object-oriented language for .NET, and described extension members as the headline feature. Extension methods allow developers not only to declare extension properties and extension methods, but also to declare extension members that extend the type, rather than an instance of the type. These new extension members can appear as static members of the type extended. Extensions can include user-defined operators implemented as static extension methods."

"Also in C# 14 is a set of capabilities designated as offering more productivity by reducing friction for everyday tasks. These capabilities eliminate boilerplate, remove common conditional blocks, simplify lambda declarations, enhance partial types for source generators, and make nameof more expressive in generic scenarios, according to Microsoft. Typing is reduced and developers get cleaner code, fewer trivial identifiers, and code that communicates intent more cleanly. These capabilities include the following:"

C# 14 introduces extension members as a headline feature, enabling extension properties and methods that extend a type rather than an instance. Extension members can appear as static members of the extended type and can include user-defined operators implemented as static extension methods. A suite of productivity improvements reduces boilerplate, removes common conditional blocks, simplifies lambda declarations, and enhances partial types for source generators. The nameof operator becomes more expressive in generic scenarios. Overall typing is reduced, producing cleaner code, fewer trivial identifiers, and code that communicates intent more clearly.
