Adding static getter thanks to extensions

This article demonstrates how C# 14's new extension blocks allow developers to add static members, such as properties, to existing types. Using a practical example of a NaturalSortComparer for StringComparer, it contrasts the awkward pre-C# 14 workarounds (extension methods or separate classes) with the elegant new syntax that lets you use StringComparer.NaturalSort directly. The post highlights how this feature makes extending types feel natural and improves code readability, targeting developers interested in C# evolution and .NET best practices.
