I read that as saying deference the range and see what you get - it's not the general concept of an extension that matters but the details of each specific one.  In this aspects, property functions are similar; what matters is the detail of each one and the global naming. Custom filter functions are the same - there we know where in a query they can be used.

Yes, there is overlap but it's not the same.  It isn't the complete
