Consider the following example:
As implemented, the analyzer and CFE do not report any errors for
iq.isEvenOrNull
. However, the NNBD feature specification says thatArguably, this makes extension member invocations an error when the receiver is potentially nullable, even in the case where the given extension is applicable to a receiver whose type is nullable (as in the example).
I believe the implemented behavior is the desired behavior, and the specification should be adjusted.
This change is non-breaking because the implementations already accept this kind of invocation.
