Abstract
Externally-initiated extension of a type that is managed by a runtime environment. As an example, third-party code that is not a runtime component may itself cause a type to be extended by causing a subject interface to be supplied to the type while also providing an implementation for that interface. The extension occurs by identifying a subject interface to supply to a type that is managed by the runtime environment, providing an implementation of the interface to the runtime environment, and instructing the runtime environment to supply the subject interface to the type using the implementation. The interface is thereafter available to computing entities that use the type.
