Summary:                    [0.9.3] Extension methods not visible on nested
types
Description: 
Example code:

#pragma indent

public module Outer
  public module Inner
    public test(this o : object) : void
      System.Console.WriteLine("test calle on object: {0}", o.ToString())

using Outer.Inner

public module Program
  public Main() : void
    def o = System.Object()
    o.test() // error: there is no member named `test' in System.Object
with type ?

Ah, sorry, the correct code is this:

#pragma indent

public module Outer
  public module Inner
    public test(this o : object) : void
      System.Console.WriteLine("test calle on object: {0}", o.ToString())

    public test2(o : object) : void
      o.test() // *** error here ***

using Outer

public module Program
  public test3(this o : object) : void
    o.test() // no error

  public Main() : void
    def o = System.Object()
    o.test() // no error
    o.test3() // no error

This is because in Outer, Inner is not 'opened'. If you declare using
Outer.Inner;  at the top of the file, it should work.

Hmm, then it seems more like in Inner Outer is not opened (which is
strange, I can call static methods from Outer, why not extensions? see my
comment where I posted corrected code so that test becomes visible in
Program.Main, but is not visible in Inner itself). Anyway, using Outer at
the top of the file works, thanks for the reply!
