With those ... I have to guess.

There are 2 possibilities.

Possibility 1: there is a method named 'doSomeWork' which takes at least 
one parameter. This overrides the UFCS function (member functions always 
win over UFCS).

Possibility 2: All this is actually inside a function or unittest. 
Nested functions cannot participate in UFCS.

Of course, these are guesses. But given the very scant code above, I'm 
not sure I could offer any other suggestions. If neither of those is the 
case, I'd need a working example.
